• Remove all small parts from lid before washing.

clean interior of steam release pipe to prevent clogging.

• To drain water from the lid after dishwashing, grasp the

lid handle and hold the lid vertically over a sink, then turn

it 360°— such as 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 odor of flavorful meals. To eliminate odors, add

1 cup (8 oz / 250 mL) water and 1 cup (8 oz / 250 mL)
white vinegar to inner pot, and run Pressure Cook for
5–10 minutes, then QR pressure.

Inner Pot

• More acute 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.

*Some discoloration may occur after machine washing, but this will not affect the cooker’s safety or
performance.
