Over filling the pressure cooker base may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe
and developing excess pressure. Excess steam may cause burns if the pressure
cooker is overfilled.
Step 4: SECURE THE LID ON THE BASE.
Make sure the silicone gasket is positioned around the underside of the lid. Center
the lid on the base and press the One Button Lock to attach the two pieces together.
(Note: The lid does not need to thread into place or be positioned using a certain
orientation to attach securely.)
Never use the pressure cooker without the gasket in place. If the gasket is worn
or damaged and does not create a proper seal between the lid and the base,
replace it. Contact Calphalon Customer Service at 1-800-809-7267 or
visit www.calphalon.com to purchase a replacement gasket.
