PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE
WITH STEAM VENT TUBE
This Valve serves as a manual pressure regulator.
By adjusting this Lever you will be able to switch
from PRESSURE to STEAM to CLEAN or from
PRESSURE to STEAM RELEASE to release pressure in short bursts. This
Pressure Regulator Valve has been factory calibrated to release
steam from your Pressure Cooker when it reaches its factory
determined maximum pressure capacity (15 psi).
Remove the Pressure Regulator Valve and rinse under lukewarm
water for easy cleaning. (See Important Safety Information section
of this manual for removal instructions.) If this Valve is worn it MUST
be replaced.
CAUTION: Never disassemble Pressure Regulator Valve or clean the
Steam Vent Tube when Pressure Cooker is in use.
PRESSURE INDICATOR SAFETY VALVE
WITH PRESSURE LIFT PIN
This visual safety device indicates if the Pre s s u r e Cooker Pan is under
p re s s u r e or if all pre s s u re has been released from the inside of the
Pan. When the Pre s s u re Lift Pin is in the UP position, you will know the
P re s s u re Cooker Pan is pressurized. In this position you will not be able
to remove the Pre s s u r e Cooker Lid. It also acts a Pre s s u re Relief
Valve, exhausting excess pre s s u re. The Pre s s u re Lift Pin Gasket should
fit snugly around the Pin.
If the Pressure Lift Pin is clogged or unclean, it may not function
properly. If the Pressure Lift Pin does not drop when expected,
gently slide the Lid Lock Button towards you to see if the
Pressure Lift Pin drops. If it still does not drop, wait until all
steam has been released.
If this Valve becomes clogged it can easily be cleaned by gently
removing excess food particles from the Valve located on the
underside of the Pressure Cooker Lid. (See Important Safety
Information section of this manual.)
SAFETY VALVES
When pre s s u re builds, excess steam or pre s s u re may
begin to escape through these automatic Valves. This is
n o rmal and so is the audible hissing sound coming from these Valves.
If these Valves become clogged, they can easily be cleaned by
gently removing excess food particles from the Valves located on
the underside of the Pressure Cooker Lid. (See Important Safety
Information section of this manual.)
Safety Steam Vent: In case of a high-pressure build-up, steam will
be released through the Safety Vent Cutout located in the rim of
the Pressure Cooker Lid.

For Your Safety
LOCKING LID WITH EASY-GRIP HANDLE
The large, easy-to-handle Lid Lock Button effortlessly locks or
unlocks the Pressure Cooker Lid. To close, place the Lid onto the
top of the Pressure Cooker Pan so that the Lid Handle is slightly to
the right of the Pressure Cooker Pan Handle. Turn the Lid Handle
clockwise until the two Handles are together and facing you. The
Lid Lock Button locks the Lid in place. Make sure the Lid falls
below the rim of the Pressure Cooker Pan and is securely
attached onto the Pan.
To remove the Pressure Cooker Lid, pressure must be released
before opening. When pressure is completely reduced, slide the
Lid Lock Button towards you, twist the Lid counter-clockwise until
the Lid can be removed easily. Always tilt the Lid away from you
to avoid the steam. (See Operating Instructions Section in this
Owner’s Manual.)
GASKET
The Gasket provides a tight seal for your Pressure Cooker. Never
use the Lid without making sure that the Gasket is properly
positioned. Do not use the Lid if the Gasket appears to be
cracked, worn or torn. In this case, you must replace the Gasket.
You can prolong the life of your Gasket by lightly coating it with a
small amount of vegetable oil after each use.
For your safety, we have incorporated into your Pressure Cooker
Lid, 4 Safety Pressure Release Valves:
• Pressure Regulator Valve with Steam Vent Tube
• Pressure Indicator Safety Valve with Pressure Lift Pin and Gasket
• 2 Safety Valves
