10. SEAL EXTRUSION WINDOW
• In the event of strong excess pressure in your pressure
cooker resulting from simultaneous blocking of the regula-
tor and the safety valve, the seal is designed to deform
itself through a rectangular window on the side of the lid.
This deformation then causes a leak which causes the
pressure to drop in the equipment.
• If this safety device is triggered, immediately cut off the
heat source.
• Decompress the equipment and open the lid, complying
carefully with the precautions
in paragraph 8.
• Carefully clean the regulator
and the steam outlet duct on
the lid, the protection strainer,
together with the safety valve
openings.
• Carry out the checks described in paragraph 4 before
using your pressure cooker again.
• Clean and rinse your pressure cooker immediately after
each use.
• Your pressure cooker is cleaned with hot water with added
washing-up liquid. The pan is also designed to be cleaned
in the dishwasher.
The lid, however, must never be pla-
ced in the dishwasher.
• Wash the seal only in hot water (do not use detergent)
• Wipe your pressure cooker immediately after washing to
avoid leaving drying marks.
• Do not use a metallic sponge. If necessary, the internal sur-
faces of the pan can be cleaned with an abrasive "Scotch
Brite" pad or scouring powder. However, these abrasive
products must never be used on shiny external surfaces.
• If foodstuffs are attached to the bottom, fill the pan with hot
water with washing-up liquid added and allow to soak
before cleaning.
• Never use bleach, nor chlorinated products which might
seriously damage the stainless steel.
• When you are not using your pressure cooker, do not leave
it closed. Put it away, placing its lid upside down on the
body. You will thus prevent the seal from sagging and suf-
fering premature wear.
