SAFETY FEATURES
Your LAGOSTINA pressure cooker has four safety systems to ensure perfectly safe cooking.
Two Auto-lock Valves
If the cover is correctly closed and the pressure is
above 5 kPa (0.73 psi), the two auto-lock valves will
rise and ensure that the cover cannot be opened.
If the cover is not properly closed, the two auto-
lock valves will prevent the build-up of pressure
and will not rise.

Safety Window
The safety window on the cover (with the gasket
in the correct position) releases pressure if the
other safety features fail. This is an emergency
pressure release mechanism that should never
become operational under normal use. If it does
become operational, the gasket itself will push
through the safety window to release pressure.
Safety Valve
The safety valve releases pressure should the
pressure release valve fail.
Pressure Release Valve
The pressure release valve controls pressure
cooking to either level 1 (LOW) or level 2 (HIGH).
Level 1 should be used for delicate food such as
vegetables or fish.
Level 2 should be used for denser food requiring
longer cooking such as meat, poultry or stews.
See “Operating Instructions” for more details.

Always place the pressure cooker on the burner in a manner that the safety window does
not point towards the user as excess steam escaping through the window will be very hot
and can cause serious injury.
