Safety Valves And Systems - Tramontina VALENCIA BLACK Manual De Instrucciones

• When using a gas
stove, place the cooker
well-centered on the
burner so the flame
does not hit the sides
of the cooker or the
handles. When using an
electric or ceramic-glass
(electric heating element) stove, place the cooker well-centered on the heat source for
even distribution of heat.
INCORRECT USE OF THE PRESSURE COOKER CAN CAUSE DAMAGE
When steam begins to escape through the working valve, lower the heat to save electrical
energy or gas.
Opening the Cooker:
There are two ways to open the cooker:
1 Slow cool down: let the cooker cool down to room temperature.
• Lift the working valve slowly with a fork to check whether all the steam inside is
completely gone.
2 Quick cool down: keep the working valve in the same position and run cold water over
the lid. This will reduce the cooker's inside pressure. Then slowly lift the working valve again
to check if the inside pressure is completely gone.
• The working valve should never be removed while the cooker
is warm. After the cooker is cool, carefully remove the working
valve.
• Remove the lid only after checking that no pressure remains
in the cooker. To remove, turn the lid counter clock-wise until
the arrow on the lid is aligned with the arrow on the handle
(figure 8).
• When turning the lid, do not push the handles upward.
Simply turn the lid gently until the arrows are aligned. Then lift and remove the lid. This will
avoid damaging the parts.
• If there is resistance in opening the cooker, it means there is still some pressure inside the
cooker. If this happens, do not force the handles open.
