Valves

In 1953, Fissler invented a multi-stage safety cooking valve, making the Pressure Cooker safe for private households for the first time. All Fissler Pressure Cookers are equipped with safety valves and must meet strict guidelines. Pressure can only build up inside the pot if it is properly closed. Fissler Pressure Cookers regulate themselves if the pressure inside becomes too high. The Pressure Cooker can only be opened once there is no pressure left inside.

Thanks to these safety features, using a Pressure Cooker from Fissler is very safe.

How the cooking valve of Fissler Pressure Cookers works

Fissler Pressure Cookers are equipped with various features that automatically ensure the safety of the appliance. This also includes the cooking valve unit. The cooking valve shows how high the pressure is inside the pot. You also use the cooking valve to control the Cooking Levels.

• The Vitavit® Premium cooking valve is equipped with a Cooking Indicator featuring a traffic-light function .
• The colours of the Cooking Indicator signal the temperature progression inside the pot according to the traffic-light principle and help you regulate the energy supply.
• If the yellow ring appears, the selected Cooking Levels are almost reached. The heat can be turned down.
• As soon as the green ring appears, the cooking time begins. The energy supply should be adjusted so that the Cooking Indicator remains in the green zone throughout the entire cooking time.
• If the red ring appears, the temperature inside the pot is too high and the heat must be turned down. The pot automatically begins to release steam to regulate the temperature.

The cooking crown with traffic-light function, the Euromatic cooking valve, the special Rubber Gasket, and the ergonomic Fissler safety handle with locking indicator ensure that the pot is safely and airtight sealed.

To ensure the valves can perform their function properly, the matching valve seals must be replaced when worn.

Fissler valves are not dishwasher safe. Remove the valve and clean it.by hand with a damp cloth. After cleaning, ensure that the cooking valve seal is seated in the designated notch and fits snugly against the cooking crown.

Important:The valves must not be oiled.

Fissler offers various valves for pressure cookers.
