Recommendations for use
1 - Steam is very hot when it comes out of the pressure cooker, so
be careful not to burn yourself. Wear gloves if necessary.
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 - To move the pressure cooker, always use both of the handles.
5 - Never leave food in your pressure cooker.
6 - Never use bleach or chlorine products for they could affect the
quality of the stainless steel.
7 - Never leave the lid to soak in water.
8 - Replace the gasket every year or if it has any splits or damage.
9 - A pressure cooker may only be cleaned when cold and when
empty.
10 - 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 16
- Second feature: the gasket lets steam escape between the base
and the lid
- fig 17
If one of the two excess pressure safety systems is triggered:
• Turn off the heat
source.
• Allow the pressure cooker to cool down completely.
• Open it up
- fig 1.
• Check and clean the operating valve (A), the steam release
outlet
(C), the safety valve (F) and the gasket (H).
• If after these checks and after cleaning, your appliance leaks or no
longer operates, return it to a TEFAL Approved Service Centre.
The pressure indicator
(G) prevents the pressure
cooker from increasing in
pressure if it is not
properly closed.
The pressure indicator
(G) prevents you from
opening the pressure
cooker if it still under
pressure.
