As with any cooking appliance, watch over it carefully especially if you are using your pressure cooker around children.

Steam is very hot as it exits the steam release outlet.

End of cooking

The pressure indicator (E) prevents you from opening the pressure cooker if it still under pressure.

If the pressure indicator (E) does not drop, place the base of your pressure cooker into a sink filled with cold water - fig. 13. Never interfere with the pressure indicator.

If food or liquid starts to spray out while you are releasing the steam, return the operating valve (A) to cooking position then release the steam using the fast pressure release method described opposite.

To release the steam:

• After the heat has been turned off you have two alternatives:
- Slow pressure release:
- Gradually turn the operating valve (A) adjusting the speed at which you want to release the pressure until it stops at Make sure that the cooker is positioned so that the steam is directed away from you.
- When the pressure indicator (E) drops again, your pressure cooker is no longer under pressure. This method is used for stews, vegetables, meat joints and fish dishes. If you notice any food or liquid start to spray out from the valve when you are releasing steam, set the selector to cooking position then wait a minute and then gradually turn the operating valve again, making sure that nothing else spurts out.

- Fast pressure release:

• Place your pressure cooker in a sink under cold running water, directing the flow onto the metal part of the lid- fig. 13.

Safety

The pressure indicator (E) prevents you the pressure cooker from increasing in pressure if is still under pressure.

Your pressure cooker is fitted with several safety devices:

- Closing safety:

- The jaws must be in contact with the rim of the lid. If this is not the case, there is steam leakage from the pressure indicator and the pressure cooker will not build up 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 interfere with the pressure indicator.
• Make sure that the internal pressure has fallen.

The pressure indicator (E) prevents from opening the pressure cooker if it still under pressure.

• Two safety devices operate to prevent overpressure:
• First device: the safety valve (F) releases the pressure and steam escapes - fig. 19.
• Second device: the seal 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 it (refer to section "Opening").
• Check and clean the operating valve (A), the steam release outlet (C), the safety valve (F) and the seal (G).
• If, after these checks and cleaning, your product leaks or no longer works, take it to a TEFAL Approved Service Centre. Contact the Customer Relations Helpline - see contact list.
