Your pressure cooker contains several safety features:
Safety When Opening:
- If your pressure cooker is under pressure, the manometric rod is in the upper locking
position, which prevents the cover from opening. Never try to force open your
pressure cooker.
- It is especially important not to apply pressure to the manometric rod.
- Ensure that the internal pressure has fallen (additional steam escaping from the
safety valve) prior to trying to open the cover.
Two Overpressure Safety Features:
- First device: the safety valve releases the pressure – see chapter on Cleaning and
Maintenance, page 60 - 62.
- Second device : the joint let off steam on the back of the cover
If one of the overpressure safety features is triggered:
Turn off your appliance.
Let your pressure cooker completely cool down.
Open it.
Check and clean the safety valve, decompression ball and gasket. See chapter on
Cleaning and Maintenance.
If your product leaks or is no longer operational after having performed these checks
and cleaning, return it to a SEB authorised Service Centre.
Regulating your appliance:
The pressure can be regulated by switching the heating element on or off.
To minimise the effects of thermal inertia and improve regulation accuracy, the
decompression ball can be automatically triggered to briefly release steam from time
to time.
