Lid and Sealing Gasket
Always examine the gasket before each use.
The silicon Sealing Gasket on the inside of
your Multi-Cooker Lid may deteriorate over
time. Remove Sealing Gasket for cleaning as
needed. Hand clean using warm, soapy water,
dry thoroughly, and replace Sealing Gasket
in Lid before use. Leave the Lid upturned
for storage, as this will also extend the life
of the gasket. Sealing Gasket may need to
be replaced every 1 – 2 years depending on
regular use. Contact Crock-Pot
®
customer
service to order replacement parts.
Steam Release Valve
Ensure the Steam Release Valve is clear
from debris before you begin using the Multi-
Cooker. Remove the valve and gently clean.
Ensure it is completely dry before replacing.
Steam Release Valve Cover
The Steam Release Valve Cover is on the
underside of the Lid. Ensure it is clear from
debris before you begin using the Multi-
Cooker. To clean, carefully pull the cover off
and clean using warm, soapy water. Press
the cover back into its place after cleaning is
complete.
Bobber Valve
Gently press the valve up and down 2-3 times
and ensure it is clear from debris before you
begin using the Multi-Cooker.
Lid Lock Pin
Gently press the pin and ensure it is clear
from debris before you begin using the Multi-
Cooker.

Condensation may collect inside the
Heating Base under the removable Cooking

Cleaning should only be carried out when the
Express Easy Release Multi-Cooker is cool
and unplugged.
Allow the Multi-Cooker to
completely cool before cleaning.
Do not use
the removable Cooking Pot on the stovetop,
inside a microwave oven or inside an oven.
Use the pot only inside the Express Easy
Release Multi-Cooker Heating Base. Wash
the Sealing Gasket and Lid by hand in warm,
soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly.
Cooking Pot
When removing the Cooking Pot from the
Heating Base, always use two hands and lift
directly upward. Failure to do so may result in
scratching the outside of the Cooking Pot (see
figure 5).
Care & Cleaning
Figure 5
If food sticks or burns to the surface of the
Cooking Pot, then fill it with hot soapy water
and let it soak before cleaning. Use a rubber
or nylon spatula to remove stubborn residue.
If scouring is necessary, use a non-abrasive
cleaner and a nylon scouring pad or brush.
Hand wash the Cooking Pot with mild
detergent in warm water to protect the inner
coating.
If white spots form on surface of Cooking
Pot, then soak it in a solution of vinegar or
lemon juice and warm water for 30 minutes.
Rinse and dry.
Exterior
Wipe the exterior of the Heating Base with a
damp cloth and polish dry. DO NOT use harsh
abrasives, scourers or chemicals, as these
will damage the surfaces. To prevent damage
to the Multi-Cooker do not use alkaline
cleaning agents when cleaning. Only use a
soft cloth and mild detergent. Never immerse
the heating base in water or any other liquid.
Condensation Collector
Empty any collected water from the
Condensation Collector after each use. Wash
in warm, soapy water.
Note:
Never use metal utensils or cleaning
devices on the Cooking Pot, as this may
result in scratching and damaging the
non-stick coating.
Note:
Cooking Pot is dishwasher safe
however the outer aluminium finish may
discolour over time. This will not affect
cooking performance.
