• Clean it with a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not use solvent for cleaning the timer. Safety Your Clipso pressure cooker has several systems to guarantee that your appliance will work in complete safety. Safety when closing

• The jaws must be in contact with the edge of the lid - Fig 3. If this is not the case, it means that there is a leak around the pressure indicator and the pressure cooker cannot gain pressure . Safety when opening

• If the pressure cooker is under pressure, the open button cannot be activated because the mechanism is locked by the pressure indicator.

• In this case, do not try to force it open, but move the selector to and wait for the pressure to disappear completely.

• Check the position of the pressure indicator . It must be in the low position to be opened. Safety when there is excess pressure

• When the appliance is operating, if the steam release outlet gets blocked , the excess pressure safety systems swing into action :

• First device: The safety valve releases the pressure and the steam escapes from under the control module - Fig 20a

• Second device: steam flows from between the lid and the pot - Fig 20b If one of these security devices is set off:

• Turn off the heat source.

• Let the pressure cooker cool down.
