LID SAFETY LOCK
This unit is equipped with a safety lock mechanism.
DO NOT attempt to open when pressurized.
PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE
SENSOR CONTROLS
Maintain even heat and pressure by automatically activating
or deactivating the power supply.
BACK-UP SAFETY
RELEASE VALVE
Should the Temperature/Pressure Sensor device malfunction, causing
pressure to build beyond maximum setting, the Back-Up will automatically
kick in and release the built up pressure.
CLOG RESISTANT
FEATURE
Prevents food from blocking the steam release port.
SPRING-LOADED SAFETY
PRESSURE RELEASE
Should all safety features listed above fail, this “spring-loaded” device
located beneath the heating element will automatically lower the
INNER
POT
, causing it to separate automatically from the
RUBBER GASKET
( page
8). This will enable the steam and pressure to automatically escape around
the pot
LID
, avoiding a dangerous situation.
TEMPERATURE
CUT-OFF DEVICE
Should the unit malfunction and cause the internal temperature to rise
beyond the “Safe” limit, this device will cut-off the power supply and will not
automatically reset.
RED PRESSURE
INDICATOR ON LID
The Red pressure indicator on lid indicates that the unit is pressurized. Do
NOT touch or press the indicator, doing so will release hot steam which
reduces the unit’s pressure and can cause injury. Always use the manual
pressure release valve to release pressure.
MAGNETIC SENSOR
FOR LID
The unit has a Magnetic Safety Sensor to assure the lid is properly closed
and the unit can pressurize. If the lid is not on correctly a beeping noise
will occur and the word “LID” will appear on the display indicating the lid is
not fully closed and the unit cannot pressurize. See the General Operating
Instructions section to familiarize how to properly place the lid on the unit
and lock it securely.
