Do not force the handle.
This may indicate there is
still pressure inside
Lift off the lid.
Take care to avoid
contact with steam
or food
2. Once secondary safety device
come visual pressure indicator
has dropped, turn the open and
close switch to the open position.
Note : 1) Do not force the switch
to the open position.
The lid may open unexpectedly
and contents could erupt.
2) It is safe to open the lid,
only after the secondary safety
device come visual pressure
indicator drops down.
Do not attempt to open the
cooker until secondary safety
device come visual pressure indicator drops. If secondary safety
device come visual pressure indicator has not dropped down
after 3-4 minutes use a spoon to press the secondary safety
device come visual pressure indicator down. If secondary safety
device come visual pressure indicator pops up again,
repeat the procedure after waiting for some more time.

To prevent the cooker from opening with pressure inside you must;
check that the secondary safety device come visual pressure indicator
is fully down, do not apply force to move the open / close switch
to the open position and do not force the lid handle to open it.
In the unlikely event of the regulator allowing pressure to reach
higher than normal, the secondary safety device come visual
pressure indicator will operate by opening up in the center
allowing excess pressure to be released. If this occurs, remove
from heat immediately to prevent boiling dry.
Note : never put anything other than the “secondary safety
device come visual pressure indicator” in this position.

When the pressure starts building up inside the
cooker, the secondary safety device come visual
pressure indicator is pushed up and will rise
above the top surface of lid. This indicates that
your cooker is under pressure, similarly after cooking is over and the
cooker is taken off the heat source, the secondary safety device come
visual pressure indicator will drop when the pressure inside the cooker
drops to “zero”, giving you a visible indication that you can safely
open the cooker.

Zero Pressure Device. This device must always be fitted and
the grommet clean and undamaged to enable it to seal in the
pressure. Its function is to prevent the lid being opened while
there is pressure inside the cooker.
It does this by preventing the Open Closed switch being
moved under normal force.
Note: The cooker has a design feature which allows a leak
in pressure, if the pressure regulator or the secondary
safety device fail or is blocked.
In such a case the leak occurs as the internal pressure
will push a portion of the gasket out of the slot on the lid rim.
Excess pressure will be gently and safely released through
the hole on top of the lid. For this function the gasket must be
replaced regularly as advised on front cover.

Never place in the dishwasher
12
Secondary safety device - This can be washed while still in the lid.
Check each time before use to ensure there are no additional splits,
tears or cracks on the flanges. There should be a X cut only in the
centre of the device. Damage to the flanges will cause the device to
operate at lower than intended pressure so it must be replaced
for effective cooking.
