Built-In Safety Features

Steamer Tray

1.  Lid Safety Device: Prevents pressure build-up if 

lid is not closed properly and prevents lid from 

opening until all pressure is released.

2.  Pressure  and  Temperature  Sensor  Controls: 

Maintain even heat and pressure by 

 

automatically activating or deactivating the 

power supply.

3.  “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. 

4.  “Clog  Resistant”  Feature:  Prevents  food  from 

blocking the steam release port.

5.  “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. This will enable 

the steam and pressure to automatically 

escape  around  the  pot  Lid,  avoiding  a  

dangerous situation.

6.  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.
