Opening safely
• If your pressure cooker is pressurised, the
opening/closing (E) handle cannot be operated
because the mechanism is locked by the pressure
indicator.
• Never try to force open your pressure cooker.
• Do not interfere with the pressure indicator (D).
• Make sure that the internal pressure has fallen.
• If you move the open/close handle (E) to a vertical
position, while the pressure cooker is still
pressurized you cannot open it.
• Check that the pressure setting (F) is set to and
wait until the pressure indicator (D) is at the low
setting.
Two high pressure safety systems
• First device: the safety valve (Q) releases the
pressure and steam escapes under the control
module - Fig. 18.
• Second device: the seal releases steam between
the lid and the pan
- Fig. 19.
If one of the high pressure safety systems is
triggered:
• Turn off the heat source.
• Let your pressure cooker cool completely.
• Open it.
• Check and clean the operating valve (P), the
steam release outlet (A), the safety valve (Q)
and the seal (G).
• If, after checking and cleaning, your product
leaks or does not work, call our Customer
Relations Helplne.
