lifting the valve

If it is a manual for engineers - as the Dutch text suggests - this should do the trick: Check the safety valve by lifting the valve.

valve LED

This might be an option if they mean 'light/lamp' . Maybe there is a LED on the control panel indicating that the valve is not okay.....

Thanks, Kate!
neutral Jack den Haan : If there is anything "optical" about this at all -- which I doubt very much! -- I certainly wouldn't refer to LEDs, but, as Kate suggests, stick to the literal translation (lights)!
