Safety
Your pressure cooker is provided with a number of safety me-
chanisms:
• Closure safety:
- If the appliance is not properly closed, the pressure in-
dicator cannot rise and therefore the pressure cooker
will never come up to pressure.
• Opening safety:
- While the pressure cooker is under pressure, the ope-
ning knob cannot be activated. Never force the pres-
sure 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 (C) releases pressure and
the steam will escape horizontally from the top of the lid
- Fig 13
- Second feature: the seal (I) lets steam escape vertically
from the side of the lid
If one of the two excess pressure safety systems is triggered:
• Turn off the heat.
• Allow the pressure cooker to cool down completely.
• Open it.
• Check and clean the operating valve (A), the operating
valve seat and pipe (B), the safety valve (C) and the seal
(I).
To clean the operating valve seat located in the lid
• Remove the valve (A).
• Visually inspect the seat and the steam release pipe in
daylight to make sure that it is round and clear. If neces-
sary, clean it with a Toothpick -
To clean the safety valve (C)
• Clean the part of the safety valve located inside the lid by
placing it under running water.
• Check that it works properly by lightly pressing on the plun-
ger which should move without difficulty
To replace your pressure cooker seal
• Replace your pressure cooker seal every year.
• Replace your pressure cooker seal if it shows any signs of
splitting or damage.
• Always use a TEFAL genuine seal that matches your model
of pressure cooker.
To store your pressure cooker
• Turn the lid over and place it on the pressure cooker body.
