Safety

You must have your pressure cooker checked in a T-FAL Approved Service Center after 10 years of use.

Your pressure cooker is fitted with several safety devices:

- Closing safety:

- The jaws must be in contact with the edge of the lid - fig. 5. Otherwise, there is a steam leak in the pressure indicator (G) and the pressure cooker cannot be put under pressure.

- Opening safety:

• If the pressure cooker is under pressure, the opening button cannot be pressed.
• Never try to force the pressure cooker open.
• Above all do not touch the pressure indicator.
• Make sure that the interior pressure has fallen.

- Two safety devices against overpressure:

• First device: the safety valve (F) releases the pressure - fig. 19.
• Second device: the seal (H) allows steam to escape from between the lid and the pan - fig. 20.

If one of the overpressure safety systems is triggered:

• Turn off the heat source.
• Let the pressure cooker cool down completely.
• Open.
• Check and clean the operating valve (A), the steam release outlet (C), the safety valve (F) and the seal (H) - fig. 15 -16 -17.
• If, after these checks and cleaning, your product leaks or no longer works, take it to a T-FAL Approved Service Center.
