Cleaning the Exhaust Pipe/Blockage Guard
Check that the Pressure Regulator, Blockage Guard and Exhaust Pipe
are in good working order before each use.
1. When the Pressure Cooker is cool, press down and turn the Pressure
Regulator Knob counterclockwise to the ‘Clean’ setting. Gently lift
and remove.
2. On the underneath of the Cover, pull off the Blockage Guard. Wash and dry.
3. Hold the Pressure Cooker up to the light to be sure that there are no
obstructions in the Exhaust Pipe. Clean with a pin or metal wire,
if necessary.
NEVER USE THE PRESSURE COOKER IF THE EXHAUST PIPE
IS BLOCKED.
4. Reinstall the Blockage Guard over the Exhaust Pipe.
5. Reinstall the Pressure Regulator by lining up the notches in the Cover and
the tabs on the Pressure Regulator. Turn clockwise.
