Getting to Know Your Programmable Pressure Cooker
Parts of the Pressure Cooker
Sealing Gasket
The sealing gasket fits inside the cover
of the pressure cooker to form a very
tight seal between the cover and
pressure cooker when the cover is
locked. The sealing gasket can be
easily removed for cleaning. Over time,
the sealing gasket may shrink, harden,
crack or become distorted with use. If
this occurs, the sealing gasket should
be replaced.
Warning:
Do not wash the sealing
gasket in the dishwasher, hand
wash only.
Note:
If there are any concerns
regarding the sealing gasket call
customer service.
Stainless Steel Meat Trivet
The meat trivet sits on the bottom of
the removable cooking pot to support
roasts and other meats and prevents
the meat from sticking to the bottom of
the pot. It can also be used to support a
metal steamer basket for vegetables.
Preset Programmed Cooking
Buttons
The preset buttons are programmed to
take the guess work out of cooking with
your pressure cooker.
Removable Cooking Pot
The removable cooking pot is coated
with a non-stick surface for easier
clean-up.
Parts of the Control Panel
Cooking with your new
Electronic
Pressure Cooker
is simple and easy
to use. The intelligent electronic
controls take the guesswork out of heat
adjustment and cooking times. Simply
add your food to the cooking pot, close
the cover and push one of the preset
buttons and let the pressure cooker do
the rest.
