If the pressure
indicator has risen
but nothing is
escaping through the
vent during cooking:
This is normal for the first few minutes.
If this persists, run cold water into your sink and sub-
merge the bottom of your pressure cooker until the
pressure indicator (D) comes down.
Clean the operating valve (A) - Fig. 16 and the steam
release outlet - Fig. 17 and use a cotton bud to check
that the security valve ball can be pressed without
any problems - Fig. 18.
If steam leaks out
around the lid, and
the pressure indicator
is in the lowered
position, check:
The correct closure of the lid.
The position of the gasket.
The condition of the gasket; replace if necessary.
The cleanliness of the lid, the gasket and its housing
in the lid.
The condition of the edge of the pot.
If you are unable to
open the lid:
Check that the pressure indicator (D) is in the
lowered position.
Otherwise, depressurise, run cold water into your sink
and submerge the bottom of your pressure cooker
until the pressure indicator comes down.
Never interfere with the pressure indicator (D).
Turn the operating valve (A) to the position
If the food is not coo-
ked or is burned,
check:
The cooking time.
The power of the heat source.
The correct position of the operating valve (A).
The quantity of liquid.
If food has burnt in
your pressure cooker:
Fill the pot with water and soak for a while before
washing.
Never use bleach or chlorine-containing chemicals.
If one of the
overpressure safety
systems is triggered:
Turn off the heat source.
Let your pressure cooker cool down without moving
it. Wait for the pressure indicator to fall and open the
pressure cooker.
Check and clean the operating valve (A), the steam
release outlet, the safety valve and the gasket.
If the problem persists, have your pressure cooker
checked by a TEFAL Approved Service Centre.
If you notice the
appearance of
oxidation marks
inside the stainless
steel pot:
The use of high performance stainless steel does not
prevent the appearance of oxidation in extreme
cases. If you notice oxidation marks, remove them by
rubbing with an abrasive sponge before using your
pressure cooker again.
