b. Gasket Release System (GRS): In case of abnormal
conditions, when the pressure inside goes beyond the
safe level due to clogging of food in the vent tube, a
portion of the gasket will get pushed through the slot
in the lid, safely releasing the steam through the hole
on the lid located under the pressure regulator console.
This is the second level safety device.
c. Multifunction safety plug:
i. The first function of this device is
zero pressure operation. When the
cooking starts from cold the air inside
the cooker is expelled.
As pressure builds up you will see initially, emission
of steam through the multifunction safety plug and
the slot on the lid console as it takes a little while for
the safety plug to seal the cooker. During this period
the steam may condense and a few drops of water may
also drip. This will stop once the safety plug seals with
the pressure build up.
ii. The second function is the fusible plug operation.
In the unlikely event of both the pressure regulator and
the GRS failing to function, the metallic fusible alloy
in the plug melts to release the pressure.
d. Visual Pressure Indicator (VPI):
For your additional safety, your Electric
Pressure Cooker is equipped with a
Vi sual Pressure Indicator housed in the
safety button console. When the
pressure starts building up inside the
cooker, the VPI is pushed above and will
rise above the surface of the console. This indicates that
your cooker is under pressure. Similarly, after cooking
is over and the issue of steam stops completely, the
VPI drops below the surface of the console, giving you
a visible indication that you can safely open the cooker
by turning the safety button to “OPEN” position by
aligning the arrow mark on the button with the
“OPEN” indication of the cooker on the console.
