CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Allow the cooker to completely cool prior to cleaning. The inner pot and cover must be thoroughly
cleaned after each use.
Cover Cleaning
The cover should be hand-washed in warm, soapy water after each use. The cover may be fully
immersed in soapy water.
IMPORTANT:
After each use, disassemble the mechanisms from the cover as directed below
and hand-wash in warm, soapy water to ensure they are all completely cleaned and not
blocked with food residue. Allow all parts to completely air dry prior to reassembly.
Exhaust Valve
Float Valve
Anti-Block Shield
To remove, snap the
exhaust valve from the
outer cover.
To reassemble, snap back
into the cover receptacle.
To remove, gently remove the
silicone cover from the float valve
on the inner cover. Pull the float
valve upwards and out.
To reassemble, place the float valve
back into the cover receptacle and
reattach the silicone cover.
To remove, twist while
pulling upwards. A rubber
jar opener may be used to
fully grasp the anti-block
shield and assist in pulling
upwards and off.
To reassemble, simply screw
onto the inner cover.
Gasket
To remove, gently pull the gasket out of the inner cover.
To reassemble, thread and press the gasket into the inner cover rim. Make certain the gasket is
properly positioned within the inner cover prior to using.
Inner Pot
The nonstick surface of the inner pot ensures easy cleanup with just soap and water. Should food
residue collect on the surface, it can usually be removed with warm water and a mild detergent.
For extreme cases, food residue can be removed with a thorough cleaning of Soft Scrub
®
. The
inner pot is dishwasher safe. However, we recommend hand-washing and drying to optimize the
life and performance of the nonstick finish.
Housing
Wipe the interior and exterior of the housing with a damp cloth. Never immerse the housing in
water.
