Locking indicator
See Fig. F
The locking indicator (Fig. A-3) in the lid handle will tell you whether the cooker is correctly closed and ready to use:
Green = The cooker is properly closed and ready for use.
Red=Thecookerisnotproperlyclosed,andnopressurecanbebuiltup.
Cleaning
Wash the pot, lid and silicone gasket thoroughly before using the pressure cooker for the first time. This will remove
any traces of polishing dust and minor impurities.
We recommend the subsequent use of Fissler Stainless Steel Care (or another product for the care of stainless steel
cookware) for the pot and lid. This will make the stainless steel more resistant to the influences of salts and acidic
substances.Residuesofthecareproductshouldbethoroughlywashedoff.Usethecareproductasneededorwhen
you notice changes in the appearance of the stainless steel surface.

Safety mechanisms
Your vitavit
®
pressure cooker is equipped with various mechanisms that automatically make your pressure cooker
safe. Before you use the pressure cooker, and each time you use it, be sure to check that the following safety me-
chanisms are functioning properly. Never alter these in any way. Make sure that the control valve and the lid handle
are properly and firmly attached before you begin to cook. You will find information on this in Chapter 10.

Silicone gasket (Fig. A-20) and safety nubs (Fig. A-17)
See Fig. K
Make sure that the silicone gasket and the edge of the lid are clean, that the silicone gasket has not been damaged,
and that the safety nubs can move freely. Insert the silicone gasket so that it lies completely flat, under the part of the
edge that curves inward, on the inside of the lid. The silicone gasket must fit in front of the safety nubs, that is, pressed
away from the edge of the lid.
