Please read these notes carefully
BEFORE using your Tower
Pressure Cooker

2.1SafetyFeatures

2.1.1 Pressure Limiting Valve and
Pressure Indicator

• Once the pressure has built up
to its working level, the pressure
limiting valve will release any
excess steam. Once the
pressure cooker has reached its
working pressure, the pressure
indicator will rise to show one
line.

• Should the pressure indicator
rise to show a second red line,
the pressure is incorrect and
action needs to be taken. The
pressure cooker should be
taken off the heat and allowed
to cool. When the pressure
indicator has dropped, the
pressure has been completely
reduced. The pressure limiting
valve should then be removed,
the cover can then be opened
and the pressure cooker
checked to ensure that it has
been set up correctly.

2.1.2 Safety Valve

• This will rise when the operating
pressure reaches 4kPa –
beware of any escaping steam
as this can scald.

2.1.3 Sealing Ring/Safety Window

• When the pressure limiting
valve and the safety valve
have not been activated, the
sealing ring will be squeezed
out through the safety window.
In this eventuality, action needs
to be taken. The pressure
cooker should be taken off
the heat and allowed to cool.
When the pressure indicator
has dropped, the pressure has
been completely reduced. The
pressure limiting valve should
then be removed, the Cover
can then be opened and the
pressure cooker checked to
ensure that it has been set up
correctly.

2.1.4 Lock/Unlock Handle

• In order to open or close
the cover, the lock/unlock
handle needs to be twisted 90
degrees.

2.2UserSafety

• The pressure cooker heats food
under pressure.

• When the pressure cooker is at
its operating pressure, the liquid
boils at 120°C

• When the food is at boiling
temperature, and when the
pressure is decreasing rapidly,
steam and boiling liquid can
escape from the pressure
cooker.

• To avoid injury, ensure that
the pressure cooker is closed
correctly and securely before
use. Do NOT start to heat the
pressure cooker until the lid
has been correctly and securely
closed.

• DO NOT leave the pressure
cooker unattended.

• DO NOT allow children to use
the pressure cooker

• DO NOT obstruct the pressure
limiting valve – it must be clear
at all times.

• Finally, take care to position
the pressure cooker so that
tthe pressure limiting valve and
safety windows are not in close
proximity to other people or

yourself so as to prevent injury
from escaping steam.

2.3Safetyduringuse

• Always check the pressure
limiting valve before use – hold
the cover up to the light and look
through the valve to ensure that it
is clear from any food, dirt, scale
etc.

2.4Foodsandsafequantities

• The amount of food and liquid
placed into the pressure cooker
must NOT exceed

2

⁄3

of the
volume of the pressure cooker.
This is to allow room for any
expansion, bubbling etc which
could block the steam release
valves. The amount of liquid
(water, soup etc) must NOT
be less than 200ml in order
to avoid the risk of boiling dry.
When cooking soup, rice or
dried vegetables that expand
during cooking, do not ll more
than ¼ full.

• NEVER use your Tower One­Touch Pressure Cooker with
oil. Some manufacturers may
advise using small amounts of
oil and some recipes may call
for a similar amount of oil to be
added. However, food must NOT
be cooked directly in oil, i.e. for
cooking food such as chips.
