• Once the correct cooking pressure is reached, the valve rises with a whistle to release excess steam, and then when the temperature decreases, it is released and moves smoothly.
• At the end of cooking, by turning the valve counterclockwise, it remains locked upright to allow steam to escape and reduce pressure inside.
• After use, the valve must return to its original position.

The locking valve prevents the opening of the lid until decompression is complete.

It is a small red plunger under the handle that rises when the pressure inside the pot reaches the cooking level and fills with steam.

It will remain upright until all the steam is released and the lid can be safely opened.

It looks like a black rubber cushion.

Before use, make sure it is properly placed on the lid to completely close the hole it fits into.

Only in case of a problem with the operating valve, the rubber moves upwards, allowing excessive steam to escape.

If this happens, it is necessary to carefully check the operating valve, which could be clogged with food residues.

Indicates the maximum fill level, including liquids and solid foods.

CAUTION when cooking foods that expand or foam, such as legumes, rice, and leafy vegetables, the maximum fill level should be half of what is indicated by the notch.
