positioned around the underside of

cooker without the rubber gasket
properly positioned. Do not use the

9. Automatic safety valve: Located
under the lid handle. Press with
toothpick or pin to verify its function.
Safety valve is activated in case of
an excess pressure build up. The
pressure cooker can not be opened
if there is still pressure inside the
cooker.
10. Thermo Heat Conductive Base:
Since the objective of a pressure
cooker is rapid cooking, the bottom
of the pressure cooker pot has a
thermo heat conductive base,
comprised of three layers of metal.
Aluminum, one of the fastest heat
conductors is sandwiched between
two sheets of stainless steel which
makes contact with the burner. This
allows for induction cooking.
11. Indicator: Indicates whether there is
pressure inside the cooker. As the
pressure cooker heats and pressure
builds, the pressure indicator (the
yellow tipped rod, located on top of
the lid handle) will raise automatically
and there will be a slight amount of
steam coming out of the lid handle.
(Fig. 13).

If the pressure indicator is raised,
there is pressure inside the cooker
and the pressure cooker can not be
opened. If the pressure indicator is
not raised, there is no pressure
inside the cooker.
12. Safety Vent: In case of high-pressure
build-up, steam will be released
through the safety vent cutout located
in the rim of the lid. (Fig. 14).
