Closing the cooker:
• To close the cooker, be sure that the arrow located on the lid is aligned with the arrow located
on the handle. Place the lid on the cooker and then turn the lid clockwise until the handles are
aligned. This indicates that the cooker is completely closed (figures 4 to 6).
• If the lid is not completely closed, the safety lock button will not lock and the cooker will not
become pressurized. Therefore, be sure to check that the lid is properly closed.
• If the lid handle goes past the pot handle by a few millimeters clockwise, the pressure cooker is
still safe and fit for use.
IMPORTANT:
Always hold the cooker
by both handles, whether
the cooker is hot or cold,
to avoid accidents when
handling (figure 7).
