Before using always check that the safety
devices are working and not soiled:
- Check that the spring-loaded safety bolt on the
lid handle is working.
- Check the safety valve
Before You Start Cooking

Check that the pressure indicator is
working. Can it move freely?
Check that the rubber gasket for lid
is lying along the inner lid rim.
If the rubber gasket for lid has become brown, hard or
damaged, please replace it. (Please only use original
Sicomatic
®
spare parts). This is mostly the case after
using the pressure cooker approx. 400 times, at the
latest however after two years. If these limits are
exceeded, the safety function of the rubber gasket for
lid may be impaired.
Causes/Faults
that have triggered a safety device must be remedied
before the pressure cooker is used again (e.g. trans-
parent operating valve clogged).
See “How to remedy faults easily” on pages 54 and
55.
Check whether the safety valve (overpressure protec-
tion) moves freely (1). And test e.g. with a wooden
skewer whether the ball can be moved or not (2).
