A dirty valve that isn't operating smoothly, an incorrectly inserted sealing ring, or the in-
correct placement of the EasyQuick can cause the lid to lift slightly during cooking and hot
steam to escape all around.
When the EasyQuick is placed on a hot pot, hot steam surges out of the steam valve.
Always position the steam valve on the pot so that it's facing away from the body. This
prevents coming into contact with the hot steam that's released from it.
Do not touch hot stainless steel parts or the steam valve. Only touch pot handles and the
EasyQuick's Visiotherm E.
Always hold a pot handle with one hand when removing the EasyQuick. Otherwise, the pot
may tip over and hot food may leak out.
