Cleaning/Maintenance
Do not wash any parts of the pressure cooker in the dishwasher. Always
wash the pressure cooker thoroughly after every use, or if it has not been
used for an extended period of time.
1. Unplug and let the unit cool before cleaning.
2. Wash the removable cooking pot with warm soapy water. Rinse and
dry thoroughly.
3. Wipe the housing with a clean damp cloth. Do not submerge in water.
4. Remove the condensation reservoir in the back by pulling out. Clean
with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace by pushing
it back in.
5. Turn the unattached lid upside down (see page 10), grasp the rubber
gasket on either side and pull up. Clean the rubber gasket in warm
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace the gasket by pushing
it down inside the edge of the lid. The groove in the center of the gas-
ket must be positioned around the metal ring on the inside edge of the
lid. Note: If the gasket is not positioned properly, the unit will not work.
NOTE:
The rubber gasket
must always be properly positioned on the
underside of the lid. Check periodically to make sure that it is clean,
flexible, and not cracked or torn. (See pg. 6 “Before First Use”, #3.)
6. If the rubber gasket is damaged, do not use the appliance and contact
the customer service department at 1-800-336-4822.
7. In order to maintain good performance of your pressure cooker, the
bottom of the removable cooking pot, in the area of the sensor pad,
must be cleaned after each use. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and be
sure to dry thoroughly.
8. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any of the parts.
Note: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
center.
Cleaning the Pressure Regulator Knob
Check that the pressure regulator knob is in good working order before
each use.
1. After the unit has cooled, remove the lid.
2. Lift up the pressure regulator knob.
3. Using a brush, check and remove any food or foreign particles
that may be lodged in the floating valve.
4. Replace the pressure regulator knob in the lid.
