Note:
If a part is defective, do not continue to use your pressure cooker. Replace it immediately. Use
only original Fissler replacement parts (see Chapter 11). Any other replacement parts can affect
how well and safely your cooker works. Make sure that your Fissler pressure cookers are only
used with Fissler pressure cooker lids.
If you are unable to solve a problem or correct a defect, contact your Fissler retailer, the spe-
cialty department of your department store, or Fissler Customer Service.
Problem
Steam escapes around the main
control valve.
The Fissler Euromatic releases
steam although the indicator
rod has already risen.
The handles are loose.
Possible reason
The O-ring for the valve base is
missing or damaged, or attached
incorrectly.
This is normal. If a very large
amount of steam escapes, how-
ever, this means that the tem-
perature is too high.
The main control valve is dirty.
The main control valve is dam-
aged.
The screws for the handles are
not firmly tightened.
How to correct problem
Attach an intact O-ring correct-
ly on the valve base.
Turn down the heat source –
and then you can continue cook-
ing as usual. Make sure that the
indicator rod rises enough for
the appropriate white ring
to remain visible.
Turn off the burner and let the
pressure cooker cool down.
Take the main control valve
apart and clean it.
Turn off the burner and let the
pressure cooker cool down.
Replace the main control valve
with a new replacement part.
Tighten the screws with a screw-
driver.
If you think something is wrong, turn the burner off and let the pressure cooker cool down.
