For a longer pressure cooker life: do not overheat your pressure cooker pan when it is empty. Always have your pressure cooker checked by a TEFAL Approved Service Centre after ten years of use. Never use a cutting or pointed object to do this, you can use a cotton bud.

Two excess pressure safety features: - First feature: the safety valve (F) releases pressure - Fig. 19 - Second feature: the seal lets steam escape between the base and the lid - Fig. 20 If one of the two excess pressure safety systems is triggered:
