7. Pressure Lock: The purple pressure

lock allows you to lock the pressure

cooker in order to build pressure when

the lid is closed. To lock the pressure

cooker, slide the pressure lock button

up towards the lid. (Fig. 7).

To unlock, slide the lock down towards

the end of the handle.

For safety reasons, the unit will not build

pressure if the pressure lock has not

been pushed to the closed position. This

measure guarantees that the cooker will

never open while it’s under pressure.

8. Silicone Gasket: In order to provide

an air-tight seal, a silicone gasket is

positioned around the underside of

the lid. Never use the pressure cooker

without the silicone gasket properly

positioned. Do not use the pressure

cooker with a worn or torn gasket,

which should be replaced immediately.

9. Safety valve: Located under the lid,

the safety valve is activated in case of

an excess pressure buildup (Fig. 3). The

pressure cooker cannot be opened if

there is still pressure inside the cooker.

10. Thermo Heat Conductive Base:

Since the objective of a pressure cooker

is rapid cooking, the bottom of the

pressure cooker pot has a thermo heat

conductive base, comprised of three

layers of metal. The first layer is stainless

steel, which is safe for contact with

food. In view of the fact that aluminum

should not be in contact with food and it

does not have magnetic properties, the

aluminum middle layer is sandwiched

between the two outer layers. Aluminum

is the best heat conductor and therefore

provides faster and more even heat

distribution. The last layer is stainless

steel with magnetic properties, making

the pressure cooker compatible with

induction cooking.

11. Pressure Indicator: The pressure

indicator is the yellow tipped rod,

located on top of the lid handle. It

indicates whether there is pressure

inside the cooker. As the pressure

cooker heats and pressure builds, the

pressure indicator will rise automatically

producing a slight amount of steam that

escapes from the lid handle. (Fig. 12)

If the pressure indicator is raised, there

is pressure inside the cooker and the

pressure cooker cannot be opened. The

pressure lock on the lid will be blocked

and will not slide to the open position. If

the pressure indicator is not raised, there

is no pressure inside the cooker, and you

can safely open the lid.

12. Safety Vent: In case of high-pressure

buildup, steam will be released through

the safety vent cutout located in the rim

of the lid (Fig. 4). The cutout in the handle

of the pressure cooker is an emergency
