Safety features
If one of the safety systems
comes into operation:
■
Turn the stovetop off.
■
Let the Pressure Cooker cool down.
■
Open.
■
Check and clean the pressure regulator valve,
steam outlet, safety valve and gasket.
■
If this third safety device comes into operation,
have your Pressure Cooker checked by an
Authorized T-Fal After-Sales Service Center.
Your Pressure Cooker has several systems to ensure
safety in operation.
Safe closing system
■
Your Pressure Cooker is equipped with a safety
system that prevents any increase in pressure if the
cover is not completely closed. If the cover is
incorrectly positioned, the safety system will
prevent the locking indicator pin from rising and
consequently the pressure.
Safe opening system
■
If the Pressure Cooker is under pressure, the
locking indicator pin is raised and prevents it from
being opened. Never try to force open the Pressure
Cooker, but set the pressure regulator to
and
wait until the pressure drops completely.
■
Check the pressure indicator pin position. It must
be in low position to allow the cover to be opened.
Safety with excess pressure
■
During cooking, if the steam outlet becomes
blocked, the excess pressure safety systems will
automatically activate:
■
■
First stage: the safety valve releases the pressure.
■
■
Second stage: the gasket allows the pressure to
be released between the cover and the pot.
■
■
Third stage: the locking indicator pin rises above
the handle and allows the pressure to be released.
To open your Pressure Cooker, allow it to
completely cool down then push the locking
indicator pin inside its housing.
