Safety devices
The pressure cooker is equipped with the following safety devices for safe
pressure cooking.
• Float valve
pressure is building up, the float valve pops up and locks the lid
the float valve pops up, never attempt to open the lid of the pressure cooker.
When the float valve has dropped back down to its original (down) position,
the pressure cooker is no longer under pressure. The lid can then be
opened.
• Pressure regulator
position will release the extra pressure in the pressure cooker for safe
opening of the lid when cooking is done. Use a tool (e.g. a long wooden
spoon) or protect your hands with oven mitts to turn the pressure
regulator. This will avoid getting your hand in contact with hot steam
which may cause injury.
• Anti-blockage vent: The steam vent in the lid is specially designed to
prevent food debris from blocking it.
• Lid position sensor: The sensor monitors whether the lid is at a safe position
for pressure cooking.
• Automatic temperature control and monitoring: It regulates the cooking
temperature and avoid food burning based on the selected cooking mode.
• Pressure controller: It keeps the cooking pressure always in the safe range
(e.g. through releasing excess pressure).
• Electrical current and temperature fuse: It cuts off power if the current or
internal temperature of the pressure cooker exceeds the safety limits.
