UNKEEP AND MAITENANCE
To keep your pressure cooker always in good shape for a long
period of time:
1.) Never heat an empty pressure cooker. This can cause damage of
your pressure cooker.
2.) Salted water from boiling, and water full of cleaning products,
should not be in contact with the pressure cooker for long periods.
3.) When cooking roasting meat in the pressure cooker, heat the fat
progressively before roasting the meat.
4.) Lubricate the centre axis with cooking oil if you find that the lid
is hard to lock.
5.) Replace the sealing ring every year or at least every two years. It
will need to be replaced early whenever the following occur:
• Cracks or dents
• Deformations
• Dark appearance
• Lack of flexibility
Any of the aforementioned irregularities may prevent the correct
sealing or closure of the pressure cooker.
To place a new gasket: (include image)
• Select a B/R/K sealing ring identified in the table (page 05)
• Place the ring on the inner edge of the lid, checking that it is
adjusted and properly placed.
