•
During the cooking process, excess moisture is collected in the Dew Collector attached located at the
rear of the appliance. Remove and empty the reservoir after each use by gently pulling it downwards.
•
Small parts of food can sometimes enter the Anti-block Shield. The Anti-block Shield is located on the
underside of the lid directly below the Pressure Limit Valve. Clean the Anti-block shield with water and
a dry, soft cloth after each use.
•
Visually inspect and clean the seal ring regularly. The seal ring is located on the underside of the lid.
It is attached around a metal ring that is designed to hold the seal ring in place.
•
Remove the seal ring for cleaning by gently pulling it away from the metal ring and by cleaning it with
water. Dry using a soft cloth and then reattach by gently pressing it over the metal ring. Ensure the
seal ring is completely seated over the metal ring, otherwise the cooker will not be able to pressurize
properly.
CLEANING
•
CAUTION: Do not attempt cleaning until the cooker has completely cooled down. Allow a minimum
of 30 minutes for the cooker to cool.
1. Turn off and unplug the appliance after each use.
2. Always allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
3. Do not use abrasive brushes or pads, or harsh cleaning solutions.
4. Wash the inside of the Pot with hot water, mild dish soap, and a clean dishcloth. Use a sponge or
rubber spatula to remove any stuck- on food or residue. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
NOTE:
Pot is also dishwasher safe.
5. Wash the inner surface of the lid thoroughly, including the seal ring, Float Valve, and Anti-block Shield.
NOTE:
Do not use the appliance with a damaged seal ring. Pressure will not build if the seal ring is
not positioned properly. Inspect periodically to ensure the seal ring is clean, flexible, and not cracked
or torn.
6. Wipe the Base of the Pressure Cooker clean using a damp cloth.
7. Do not immerse the power cord into water.
8. Ensure all parts are dried thoroughly before reassembling and using the appliance again.
9. Store the Pressure Cooker with the Lid upside down on top of the pot. This will protect the valves,
knobs and pressure regulator on top of the lid. If the Pressure Cooker is stored with the lid sealed,
persistent odors may form inside and the seal ring may become damaged
