BEFORE FIRST USE

As received, your pressure cooker will be fully assembled. 

Before removing the cover, you will need to unlock the 

green locking latch according to the instructions below. 
Before use, remove all packaging material, including the 

protective liner which is on the heating plate inside the 

cooker body. Disassemble the cooker parts and clean them 

as directed below. Become familiar with the various parts 

(Fig. A) and read all instructions carefully.

COOKER PARTS

Remove the Cooker Cover

  1. Before removing the cover, you will need to unlock the 

green locking latch. Begin by positioning the cooker so 

the digital display faces you. To unlock the latch, grasp 

the sides of the latch and turn it towards you until it 

stops (Fig. B). Lift the temperature sensor arm out of the 

sensor hole in the cover (Fig. C). 

  2. Once you have released the temperature sensor arm 

from the cover, rotate the cover counterclockwise until 

the 

INSTALL/REMOVE

 vertical mark is within the   

mark on the cooker body (Fig. D). Then lift the cover 

straight up off the cooker body. 

Disassemble Cooker Parts for Cleaning

It is recommended that the pressure cooker be thoroughly 

washed before first use to remove any manufacturing 

lubricants.
  1. Lift the cooking rack and removable cooking pot out of 

the cooker body. Remove all packaging.

  2. Invert the cover and pull the sealing ring frame out 

from the cover (Fig. E). Then remove the vent filter for 

cleaning. To remove, place the inverted cover on the 

counter, then rest a table knife on the rim of the cover and 

insert the tip into one of the filter slots (Fig. F); lift the 

filter up. 

NOTE:

 Although you will not need to remove 

the filter after every use, you should periodically remove it 

for cleaning. 

  3. Remove the sealing ring from the sealing ring frame. Wash 

the sealing ring, sealing ring frame, vent filter, cooking 

rack, and removable cooking pot in warm, soapy water. 

Rinse and dry thoroughly. 

  4. Clean the cooker cover with a damp, soapy cloth. 

Do NOT 

immerse the cooker cover 

in water.

 

  

CAUTION!

 To prevent 

electrical shock, never pour 

water into the cooker body 

or immerse it or the power 

cord in water. Always be 

sure the cooking pot is 

COMPLETELY DRY before 

placing it back in the cooker 

body.
