Some of the components in the manual are mislabelled due to translation errors, but the descriptions of how they work are fine. For example, the manual uses the word 'Security' instead of 'Safety'. Now it should be obvious that a pressure cooker doesn't need a security window, like a bank teller might have, but a safety port to release steam when over pressurized is what it really has. I've been using pressure cookers for more than 20 years, and I see no problems with the design or construction of the one I received. I also own several Fagor models, including a 4qt model, and I prefer this Magegesa model for several reasons. The spring pressure regulator valve is removable for easy cleaning, and it comes apart as a unit instead of individual components. The safety pressure release valve is all-metal construction, unlike the Fagor models that use a small rubber gasket that may deteriorate over time. The Magefesa model has an additional safety of a post that must push away the main gasket before the lid can be opened, in addition to a block when the pressure safety valve is up. This model has high and low pressure settings, while some Fagor models have a single pressure setting.
The advantage of a smaller model is that it comes up to pressure faster for smaller recipes than larger cookers, and reduces overall cooking time. Beware that you start timing when steam starts being released from the main spring valve (the one you turn), not when the red safety valve first pops up or when steam is released from the safety valve. The manual not clear in this regard. Keep it on high heat until steam is released from the main valve, then turn down the heat to just keep steam coming out. If you leave it on high, you'll just be wasting energy and consuming the water too quickly, not cooking any faster. The red safety valve will pop up when there's just barely enough pressure to lift it, then once it lifts, pressure will start to build up inside, unless there's a problem with the main lid gasket, which should tightly seal as pressure builds. If the lid gasket isn't sealing properly, you'll get steam that will blow by it along the rim of the lid and down the side of the pan. If it doesn't seal in several seconds, then turn off the heat, depressurize, run the lid under cold water so that you can safely handle it, then examine the gasket, rim, and lid to see what might be preventing a tight seal. The gasket may need to be replaced if it's cracked, hardened, or otherwise preventing a good seal. Normally the gasket will seal and allow pressure to build up to the point that the main valve starts releasing steam. You can turn down the heat when that occurs and start timing the recipe, because that's when it reaches the pressure threshold for the spring valve.
That being said, the next time I used the cooker, the food came out nearly perfect. The cooker performed as I expect it should. The first time, like in other reviews on this product, steam came shooting out from around the gasket and it dripped all over the stovetop. I followed what I thought the manual was saying to do and I destroyed the food and had to scrub hard on the bottom to get it clean again as well as air out the house. I found the brushed stainless surface on the inside of the unit makes it a little difficult to clean deeply. Also, there is a mark on the inside showing the maximum level of food/water to put inside the unit (at about 2/3 up from the bottom), as well as a 1/2 level mark.
After that experience, I thought in logical terms about how the pressure cooker should work and proceeded the next day to make a real meal. I found that, as the manual states, starting the cooker on high heat, works. Upon further use, I found starting out at too high of a temperature (on an electric stove) causes a sudden overflow of moisture to escape from the valves (making a mess) as the water inside comes to a boil. I have had greater success with a slower ascension to high pressure/temperature. I now start out at medium-high temps and have no boil-overs. Also, I find that if the gasket begins spitting moisture, a simple press down on the lid (briefly), near the leakage instantly stops it. That’s more of a rarity since using the lower temperatures.
The unit has two valves. A small red one that pops up when the unit is initially pressurized (timing is suppose to start at this point). Then as the unit reaches high pressure, steam pours out the black "safety valve". This valve on this unit has two settings (high and low). In the manual, it sounds as if they want you to turn down the heat when steam starts to pour out this valve, I turn it down to about half of my maximum temperature (medium-high). The unit is doing what it should - maintaining pressure while releasing excess pressure to keep the unit from exploding (even though it won’t). Just be certain that steam is escaping from the spring loaded (black) safety valve. I sometimes encourage the release of steam by pressing the valve down and sideways a little to make certain it’s “breathing”.
Experience comes in handy when trying to figure out how long to cook and how much water to use with whatever food your cooking. So expect to ruin some food if you've never used a pressure cooker before. I wouldn't blame this unit for any problems though. It's a good unit with multiple, redundant safety features that make perfect sense and function properly without much help from you or the manual. Just keep the valves cleaned and maintained and you should never have a problem. Good luck - you can do it!
UPDATE 2024:
This pressure cooker is still functioning as new. I use mine only for beans and have the water, temp setting and timing down to a science - the results are perfect every time.

The handle was chipped upon arrival. Luckily, it works perfectly well. I keep it.
