Recommendations for use
1 - The steam is very hot when it leaves the operating valve.
2 - As soon as the pressure indicator rises, you can no longer open
your pressure cooker.
3 - Just as for any other cooking appliance, always pay close
attention to it, especially during use in the presence of children.
4 - Beware of the steam jet.
5 - To move the pressure cooker, always use both of the handles.
6 - Never leave food in your pressure cooker.
7 - Never use bleach or chlorine products for they could affect the
quality of the stainless steel.
8 - Never leave the lid to soak in water.
9 - Replace the seal every year.
10 - A pressure cooker may only be cleaned when cold and when
empty.
11 - Always have your pressure cooker checked by a TEFAL Approved
Service Centre after ten years of use.
Safety
Your pressure cooker is provided with a number of safety mecha-
nisms:
• Closure safety:
- The jaws should be in contact with the lid edge. If this is not the
case, then steam will escape from the pressure indicator and the
pressure cooker will never come up to pressure.
• Opening safety:
- While the pressure cooker is under pressure, the opening knob
cannot be actuated.
- Never force the pressure cooker open.
- Never tamper with the pressure indicator.
- Always make sure that the pressure inside the pressure cooker
has been released.
• Two excess pressure safety features:
- First feature: the safety valve (F) releases pressure
- fig 19
- Second feature: the seal lets steam escape between the base
and the lid
- fig 20
If one of the two excess pressure safety systems is triggered:
• Turn off the heat.
• Allow the pressure cooker to cool down completely.
• Open it up.
• Check and clean the operating valve (A), the steam release conduit
(C), the safety valve (F) and the seal (H).
• If after these checks and after cleaning, your appliance leaks or no
longer operates, return it to a TEFAL Approved Service Centre.
