CAUTION

To avoid blocking the outlet openings of the regulator and the safety valve, it is essential to comply with the fol-
lowing precautions:

Never fill the pressure cooker to more than 1/4 of its capacity when cooking foodstuffs which inflate or produce
foam such as spinach, lentils, split peas, pasta, rice, stewed fruit, rhubarb, barley, oat flakes and other cereals, etc.

Never fill the pressure cooker to more than 1/4 of its capacity when cooking foodstuffs with leaves liable to stick
to the inside of the lid, such as lettuce, leeks, artichokes, etc.

Never wrap foodstuffs in paper (aluminium or otherwise).

• Remove the regulator and check whether the steam

outlet duct is not clogged. Remove the regulator and
ensure that neither the steam outlet duct and its
openings nor the protection strainer are clogged.

• Check that there is nothing blocking the openings of

the safety valve and that the ball is clearly visible.

• Remove the seal and check its condition together

with the cleanliness of its housing (A seal in poor

condition or the presence of foreign bodies under
the seal may cause leaks).

• Replace the seal, checking that it is placed the right

way round and that it is properly engaged under all
the studs on the outer par t of the lid.

• When the pressure cooker is used on a daily basis,

the lifetime of the seal is approximately one year.

• Check that the pressure indicator moves freely in its housing.
