► Never use force to open the pressure
cooker. Do not open it before the pressure
has been completely released as described
in the section Opening the pressure

away from the danger zone. You could
otherwise be injured by escaping steam.
Please pay particular attention when re-
leasing pressure quickly with the regulating
valve at position .
