With 4 safety locks
- The pressure regulator through which steam is released, maintaining a constant pressure inside the cooker
- The pressure lock, which allows air to escape at the beginning of cooking and once it reaches the preselected pressure level, locks the lid preventing it from opening as long as there is pressure inside. Once the pressure is completely released, it unlocks and you can open it
- The safety valve, which opens in case the pressure regulator clogs and does not function properly, to release the pressure
- The silicone gasket which prevents steam from escaping around the perimeter during normal operation. In case of failure of the other locks, it opens allowing steam to be released around the perimeter of the cooker
Proper Gasket Placement
Before securing the lid of the pressure cooker, make sure that the silicone gasket is properly placed and fits correctly. The flat side of it should be in contact with the lid. Also, ensure before each use that it is clean and in good condition. If you notice any damages, you should immediately proceed with its replacement.
