1.- Pressure regulator:
The pressure regulator snaps down over the vent tube, which automatically controls and mantains the
proper cooking pressure. When pressure rises, the regulator will begin a rocking montion, allowing
steam escape,and to maintain a constant pressure inside the cooker. Always remove from heat and
reduce pressure before removing pressure regulator.
2.- Vent tube and vent filter:
The vent filter is attached to the vent tube on the inside of the lid. The filter should be unscrewed from
the vent tube before using, to ensure the vent is clear.
Always look through the vent tube and check each of the openings in the filter to ensure they are clear.
A cleaning needle is included with your cooker as an aid for clearing the vent tube and the vent tube
filter.
3.- Pressure indicating / Safety valve:
When pressure begins to build in the cooker (with the lid at closed position and with the pressure regu-
lator in place) the red pressure indicating/safety valve will lift. If the vent tubes becomes clogged while
cooking, the valve would operate to allow steam to escape and release pressure. Always attempt to
open the lid only when this valve indicates no pressure.
4.- Safety lock release:
The handles of the cooker are designed with safety interlock. The safety interlock would prevent the
cooker to be pressurized if the lid not properly closed. It also prevents the operating of the lid until
pressure has subsided.
