IMPORTANT: Pressure Cooker and its parts are NOT dishwasher safe. To ensure proper
operation of the unit, always clean the pressure cooker thoroughly after each use and
if it hasn’t been used for a long period of time. Use the below steps.
1. Unplug and always let the unit cool down before cleaning.
2. Wash the removable cooking pot with warm soapy water, 
don’t use abrasive cleaners or pads. Make sure to clean 
the bottom of the pot as well. Dry the outside thoroughly 
before placing back in the pressure cooker.
3. Wipe the outer housing of the pressure cooker with a 
clean damp cloth. NEVER submerge in water due to the 
risk of the electric shock. Wipe the sensor located on the 
inside bottom of the pressure cooker housing with damp 
cloth. Always dry thoroughly.
4. Remove the Condensation Container by pulling it down. 
Wash in warm soapy water, rinse and dry. Place the 
Condensation Container back on the unit by pushing it up.
5. Next, clean the rubber gasket by first removing it from 
the lid. Grasp the rubber gasket on either side and pull up. 
Clean the rubber gasket in warm soapy water. Rinse and 
dry thoroughly.

6. When done, place the rubber gasket back on the lid by pushing it down inside the 
edge of the lid. Always make sure the groove in the center of the rubber gasket is 
positioned around and behind the metal ring of the lid. IMPORTANT: If the rubber 
gasket is not placed on properly, the unit will not operate.
7. The rubber gasket is always positioned on the inside of the lid, around and behind 
the metal ring. Always check to make sure it’s clean and not damaged before each use. 
8. If the rubber gasket is damaged in any way, DO NOT USE 
the pressure cooker and contact customer service at 
1-800-423-4248 for a replacement part.
