Safety Features - Pronto Lagostina Instructions For Use And Care Manual

• The pressure inside the pressure cooker is controlled by a pressure control valve (fig. A)
which prevents an excessive build-up of pressure. Valve #1 (green) is for medium pressure
(7.35 psi) and valve #2 (red) is for high pressure (11.8 psi).
• The safety lock (fig. B) prevents opening of the pressure cooker when there is pressure inside.
To open the pressure cooker, push the switch to the "open" position and remove the lid
following the instructions.
• An internal pressure safety valve, located inside the upper handle (fig. C) and accessible from
inside the pressure cooker for checking and assembly, comes into operation when there is
an excessive increase in pressure.
• A safety window situated on the rim of the lid (fig. D) prevents any damage occurring to the
pressure cooker as a result of any abnormal increase of pressure inside the unit. To ensure
the correct functioning of this window, the rubber gasket should be checked before each use
for dirt or damage.
