• Opening safety:
- If the pressure cooker is under pressure, the
release button (E) cannot be operated. Never
open the pressure cooker by force. Above all, do
not interfere with the pressure indicator
• Two safety devices against overpressure:
- First device: the safety valve (C) releases the
pressure and steam escapes horizontally from
the top of the lid - Fig. 14
- Second device: the gasket (I) permits steam to
escape vertically from the small hole located on
the edge of the lid or along the side of the pot -
Fig. 15. Caution, this may extinguish the flame on
a gas hob.
If one of the overpressure safety systems is
triggered:
• Turn off the heat source.
• Leave the pressure cooker to cool completely.
• Open the pressure cooker.
• Check and clean the operating valve (A) - Fig. 13,
the steam release outlet (B) - Fig. 10, the safety
valve (C) and the gasket (I). See drawing opposite.
