Lid and Parts
• Anti-Block Shield
• Sealing Rings
• Steam Release Valve
• Float Valve
• Silicone Cap
• Wash after each use with hot water and washing up liquid
and allow to air dry, or place on top rack of dishwasher.
• Remove all small parts from lid before washing.
• With steam release valve and anti-block shield removed,
clean interior of steam release pipe to prevent clogging.
• To drain water from the lid after dishwashing, take the lid
handle and hold the lid vertically over a sink, then turn it
360°— like turning a steering wheel.
• After cleaning, store the lid upside down on the
cooker base.
• Store sealing rings in a well-ventilated area to
decrease residual odour from highly flavoured meals.
To eliminate odours, add 250 mL of water and 250 mL
of white vinegar to inner pot and run Pressure Cook for
5–10 minutes, then QR pressure.
Inner Pot
• Heavy hard water staining may require a vinegar
dampened sponge and some scrubbing to remove.
• If there is tough or burned food residue at the bottom,
soak in hot water for a few hours for easy cleaning.
• Wash after each use.
• Ensure all exterior surfaces are dry before placing
in cooker base.

power lead.

condensation rim with a barely damp cloth, and allow

damp cloth or sponge.

or performance.
