Frequently Asked Questions - Minute Actua P05416 TEFAL

What to do if I cannot open the lid?

Turn the valve to the pressure release position to release pressure. Make sure there is no more pressure. If necessary, reheat for a few moments with the valve in the pressure release position.

What to do if the cooker has heated without liquid?

Have your cooker checked by a TEFAL Authorized Service Center.

Why does nothing escape through the valve during cooking?

This can be normal during the first few minutes. If the phenomenon persists, check that the heat source is strong enough, the amount of liquid sufficient, the valve is in cooking position, the cooker is properly closed, and the valve is not dirty.

What to check if the phenomenon persists?

Check that the heat source is strong enough, the amount of liquid sufficient, the valve in cooking position, proper closure, cleanliness of the valve, and the condition of the gasket and the rim of the pot.

What to do if a safety system is triggered?

Stop the heat source, let the cooker cool down, then check the steam release rod, the operating valve, the safety valve, and the gasket.
