Quick Answer

To replace the valve seal on your Fissler Vitavit pressure cooker, remove the old seal, clean the valve area, install the new Vitavit Valve Seal Set, and test for proper fit before use.

Why Use Original Fissler Parts?

Using original Fissler replacement parts ensures the safety and longevity of your pressure cooker. Non-genuine seals may not fit precisely, leading to steam leaks or pressure irregularities. Always confirm you have the correct part for your model before ordering.

Step-by-Step Replacement Guide

  1. Step 1: Identify Your Model: Check the underside of your pressure cooker lid or the user manual to confirm whether you have a Vitavit or Vitaquick model. This ensures you order the correct valve seal set. Matching the model is the most common mistake; verify before purchasing.
  2. Step 2: Remove the Old Valve Seal: Carefully pry out the old rubber seal from the valve assembly using a small flathead screwdriver or your fingers. Avoid scratching the metal surfaces. If the seal is stuck, do not force it; use a gentle twisting motion to loosen it.
  3. Step 3: Clean the Valve Area: Wipe the valve seat and surrounding area with a soft, damp cloth to remove any food residue or debris. Let it dry completely before installing the new seal. A clean surface ensures the new seal sits flush and prevents leaks.
  4. Step 4: Install the New Valve Seal: Press the new Vitavit Valve Seal Set into place, ensuring it sits evenly and fully seated in the groove. Run your finger around the edge to confirm it is not twisted or pinched. A twisted seal can cause steam to escape; double-check the alignment.
  5. Step 5: Test the Seal: Close the lid and perform a pressure test with water according to your cooker's manual. Listen for any hissing or check for steam leaks around the valve. If leaks occur, remove the seal and reinstall it, or contact Fissler customer service for assistance.
