Cleaning the pressure
cooker after use
IMPORTANT:
After using your
pressure cooker it is very important
that the lid and the pressure cooker
are correctly cleaned to ensure they
will work correctly next time you want
to use the pressure cooker. Allow the
cooker to cool before cleaning.
1.
Remove the lid by rotating it
anti-clockwise (
A
) and then lifting
upwards (
B
) off the pressure
cooker.
2.
Removing the steam valve:
Grip
the top of the steam valve and
pull upwards off the lid.
3.
Clean the valve and the recess it
sits in with warm soapy water and
a cloth or sponge and then rinse.
You can also use a small brush
such as a toothbrush. If the hole
in the top of the valve post has
material stuck in the top of it, you
can use a pin or needle to remove
it.
4.
Refitting the steam valve:
Place
the steam valve back onto the
metal post in the middle of the
recess and push down. The valve
will fit back onto the post with a
‘clunk’.
