Operation Manual

The lid handle bar is so attached to the lid that there is extra
space for deliberate “play” or movement. This ensures better
sealing of the lid with the rim of the cooker body.

If the normal escape of steam is blocked, the safety valve
will operate. The safety valve will also operate if there is insufficient
water in the pressure cooker and it boils dry, causing the temperature
to rise beyond the normal operating range. The fusible alloy in the
safety valve melts at the required temperature and releases
pressure. The safety valve can be replaced as shown on page 31.
The steam vent seats the pressure regulator and is the outlet for
excess steam. The steam vent is also the point at which the lid handle
is connected to the lid.
The lid comes assembled with the detachable rubber sealing ring.
It can be removed from the lid curl with the fingers. The sealing ring
can be easily put back by slipping the lid handle through the sealing ring
and patting and pushing it down all along the lid curl until it is seated
properly.
On the underside of the lid, the steam vent nut secures the
steam vent. The steam vent nut has seven holes so that even if a
few holes are clogged, the other holes will allow the escape of steam.
Always keep the steam vent clean and check before every use by
looking through it.
