CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unplug and let the FARBERWARE

Self-Locking Lid. Wash both with warm soapy water and a clean,
soft cloth or sponge. Rinse off with clean water and towel dry.
4. 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. If damaged, do not use this

6. Never use harsh chemical detergents, scouring pads or powders on
any of the parts or components.

working order. After unit is cooled, remove
the Lid. Turn the Pressure Regulator Knob to

soft, damp cloth and be sure to dry thoroughly.
