9. Pressure Safety Valve 10. Rubber Gasket:
The pressure safety valve provides an additional level of safety. In the remote case that the pressure release valve cannot release pressure due to blockage, the safety valve will activate and release the excessive pressure.
a) The rubber gasket helps seal the lid so that pressure can build within the pressure cooker. The gasket fits snugly around the metal gasket ring located on the underside of the lid and should be removed regularly for cleaning and to check for wear.
11. Lid Locks
a) The lid lock actuator freely moves up and down until the unit is pressurised and then locks the lid, preventing the lid from being opened while under pressure. It is located beneath the removable metal basket on the underside of the lid and should be cleaned regularly.
b) This lid locking pin moves in and out at the side of the lid. It prevents the lid from opening when the unit is under pressure.
b) To refit the rubber gasket around the metal gasket ring, press down on the gasket with your thumbs whilst simultaneously turning the lid.
NOTE: The rubber gasket has no top or bottom and can be fitted either way.
c) The removable metal basket helps to prevent debris from getting to the pressure release valve and lid lock actuator causing blockage. It should be cleaned regularly.
