7. Pressure Lock: The yellow pressure
lock allows you to lock the pressure
cooker in order to build pressure when
the lid is closed. The Duo pressure
cooker has an automatic locking
mechanism, which means that by
aligning the lid handle with the pot
handle and sliding the lid handle to the
left the pressure cooker will lock by
itself. (Fig. 2).
To unlock, slide the pressure lock
down towards the end of the handle
and slide the lid handle to the right.
For safety reasons, the unit will not
build pressure if the pressure lock has
not clicked into place. This measure
guarantees that the cooker will never
open while it’s under pressure.
8. Silicone Gasket: In order to provide
an air-tight seal, a silicone gasket
is positioned around the underside
of the lid. Never use the pressure
cooker without the silicone gasket
properly positioned. Do not use the
pressure cooker with a worn or torn
gasket, which should be replaced
immediately. Contact the ZAVOR
Customer Service Department at:
1-855-ZAVOR4U or email at: info@
zavoramerica.com. You can also
purchase a gasket online at www.
zavoramerica.com.
9. Safety valve: Located under the
lid, the safety valve is activated in
case of an excess pressure buildup
(Fig.7). The pressure cooker cannot
be opened if there is still pressure
inside the cooker.
10. Thermo Heat Conductive Base:
Since the objective of a pressure
cooker is rapid cooking, the bottom of
the pressure cooker pot has a thermo
heat conductive base, comprised of
three layers of metal. The first layer
is stainless steel, which is safe for
contact with food. In view of the
fact that aluminum should not be in
contact with food and it does not have
magnetic properties, the aluminum
middle layer is sandwiched between
the two outer layers. Aluminum is the
best heat conductor and therefore
provides faster and more even heat
distribution. The last layer is stainless
steel with magnetic properties, making
the pressure cooker compatible with
induction cooking.
11. Pressure Indicator: The pressure
indicator is the yellow tipped rod,
located on top of the lid handle. It
indicates whether there is pressure
inside the cooker. As the pressure
cooker heats and pressure builds, the
pressure indicator will rise automatically
producing a slight amount of steam
that escapes from the lid handle. (Fig.
8) If the pressure indicator is raised,
there is pressure inside the cooker
and the pressure cooker cannot be
opened. The pressure lock on the lid
will be blocked and will not slide to the
open position. If the pressure indicator
is not raised, there is no pressure
inside the cooker, and you can safely
open the lid.
