4.  If the Condensation Reservoir contains visible moisture, remove by pulling down.  Wash 

in warm soapy water.   Rinse and dry thoroughly.  Attach to Main Body by pushing up to 
lock into place. 

 
5.  Turn the Lid upside down, grasp the Rubber Gasket on either side and pull up.  Wash 

gasket in warm soapy water.  Rinse and dry thoroughly.  Insert the Rubber Gasket by 
pushing it down inside the edge of the Lid, making sure the ‘v’ groove of the gasket is 
centered around the wire ring on the Lid.  NOTE:  if the Rubber Gasket is not positioned 
properly the appliance will not function normally. 

 
6.  After a period of time the Rubber Gasket may shrink, harden, or otherwise become 

distorted under normal use.  When this happens or other damage occurs, do not use the 
appliance.  The Rubber Gasket should be replaced.  Contact the Customer Satisfaction 
Department as described on Page 25 for instructions. 

 
7.  In order to maintain good performance of your NESCO

®

 Professional 3-in-1 Cooker, the 

bottom of the Removable Cooking Pot should be inspected and cleaned, if necessary, 
after each use.  Wipe with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly before using. 

 
8.  Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any parts of this appliance, as 

they will make fine scratches in the surface, especially on the polished surfaces.  

 
9. Store 

your 

NESCO

®

 Professional 3-in-1 Cooker with the Lid resting upside down on the 

removable cooking Pot.  This will protect the valves, knobs and pressure regulator on the 
top of the Lid.  If the appliance is stored with the Lid sealed, stale odors may form on the 
inside. 

 
 

 

Cleaning the Pressure Regulator Knob

 

 
Check to make sure the Pressure Regulator Knob and Pressure Safety Valve are in good 
working order before each use.   To clean, please follow the instructions below: 
 
1.  After the unit has cooled, remove the Lid. 
 
2.  Press down and turn the Pressure Regulator Knob clockwise past the Steam setting and 

carefully lift and remove. 

 
3.  Turn the Lid upside down and set on a tabletop.  Pull out the 

Regulator Shield by firmly grasping with a soft cloth lifting 
upwards (see illustration right).  Using a small brush, check and 
remove any food particles that may be lodged inside the 
Regulator Shield and the Floating Valve.  Push Regulator 
Shield back in place. 

 
4.  Replace the Pressure Regulator Knob by lining the notches up 

to the inside wall of the Pressure Regulator chamber in the Lid, then press down and 
turn clockwise to latch.
