l Before each use, check mobility of safety devices:
- Check mobility of spring-loaded red safety bolt
at lid handle.
- Check safety valve.
l Check unobstructed mobility of pressure indicator.
l Check if lid gasket is in close contact with inner
lid rim.
If the lid gasket has become brownish or hard, please
replace it. (Please only use original Sicomatic
®
spa-
res). This will be necessary only after using the cooker
about 400 times, yet after two years at the very latest.
Disregarding these data can seriously reduce the
safety of the lid gasket.
