Lid edge Safety Window:
special window on the edge of the lid. If an overpressure happens and the other security
systems get clogged at a range between (26.1 to 45.4 psi) - (1.8 to 3.0 bar) the gasket will
be deformed to depressurize the pressure cooker getting out the over pressure through this
window.
PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE POSITIONS.
Off: In this position the Pressure cooker is Off. That means it
will be impossible to reach any pressure level inside the pressure
cooker. In this position all the steam generated inside the cooker
will be automatically and constantly released. It will work like a
regular pot with lid. Do not turn the regulating pressure valve to
off position, while pressure cooker still contains pressure.
Pressure release position: When you place the regulating valve
in this position, the pressure cooker will automatically release all
the steam inside the pot. After you finish the releasing process,
you will be able to open the lid. As an extra safety measure, if the
inner pressure level remains higher than recommended, you will
not be able to open it safely.
As an additional safety measure we highly recommend to operate
the pressure regulating valve protecting your hands with a
mitten. This part may be hot because of the steam releasing
feature.
Low pressure position: The lower cooking pressure level of your
model is 8.7 psi (or 60 Kpa for Europe). This pressure is recommended
for soft foods like rice, pasta, fish, some vegetables, etc... The pressure
valve will keep stable this pressure inside the cooker.
High pressure position: The highest cooking pressure level of your model is 15 psi (or 100
Kpa for Europe). This pressure is recommended for hard foods like meats, legumes, etc... The
pressure valve will remain stable and maintain the highest pressure inside the cooker.
No steam release is required. If this happens, reduce the heat of your stove to the minimum.
To move the regulating valve grab the valve cap with two fingers, push it down gently and
turn rigtht to the desired position (I - II or ). NEVER turn right the valve to the position
while the pressure cooker is not totally depressurized, (to confirm check if red pressure
sensor is down).

As a final safety system, the pressure cooker is designed with a
