TEFAL is safe
Your X’press Cooker has several systems to ensure
perfectly safe cooking.
Safe closing system
■ The jaws must be in contact with the edge of the
lid.
■ If not, steam will escape from underneath the
pressure indicator and steam will not build up.
Safe opening system
■ If the X’press Cooker is under pressure, the
opening button cannot be operated because the
mechanism is locked by the pressure indicator.
■ In this case, do not try to force the opening, but
bring the valve to and wait until complete
evacuation of the steam.
■ Check the pressure indicator position. It must be
in low position to be opened.
Safety with excess pressure
■ During cooking, should the steam outlet become
blocked, the excess pressure safety systems will
come into operation:
■■ First stage: the safety valve releases the pressure.
■■ Second stage: the gasket allows the pressure to
be released between the lid and the pan.
If one of the safety systems comes into
operation:
■ Turn the heat off.
■ Allow the X’press Cooker to cool.
■ Open.
■ Check and clean the pressure regulator valve,
steam outlet, safety valve and gasket.
