Never let fat or oil burn in the pot until completely carbonised. The cooking
fumes could be dangerous to animals with a particularly sensitive respiratory
system, such as birds. Bird owners should keep them away from the kitchen.
Safety
Your pressure cooker is fitted with several safety devices:
Closing safety:
- If the lid is not positioned correctly or if you forget to fold down the lid handle,
the steam will seep out on the lid (near the pressure indicator D) of the
pressure cooker and it can not build up pressure.
- If you forget to fold the lid handle to the horizontal position, steam leaks.
Opening safety:
- If your pressure cooker is under pressure, the pressure indicator (D) is up and
the opening/closing lid handle (G) should not be used.
- Never try to forcibly open the pressure cooker.
- Above all do not touch the pressure indicator (D).
- Make sure that the interior pressure has fallen (pressure indicator (D) in
lowered position) before opening the pressure cooker.
- The lid handles are safety components. Never change them yourself. Never
use any other models of lid handles.
- If you attempt to move the opening/closing lid handle (G) to a vertical
position while the pressure cooker is still under pressure, you are not able to
open it. This function is an additional safety measure. In this circumstance,
move the lid handle back to a horizontal position and wait until the pressure
indicator (D) is in the lowered position.
Two safety devices against overpressure:
- First device: the safety valve (E) releases the pressure
- Second device: the gasket allows steam to escape from the lid
If one of the overpressure safety systems is triggered:
Turn off the heat source.
Allow the pressure cooker to cool completely.
Open.
Check and clean the operating valve (A), the steam release outlet (B), the
safety valve (E) and the gasket (I)
checks before each use".
If, after these checks and cleaning, your product leaks or no longer works,
take it to an TEFAL Approved Service Centre.
