Simple Cleaning
To extend the life of the pressure cooker,
remove foods soon after each use. Hand-wash
and towel-dry to avoid food residue, especially
acid or alkali foods. The pressure cooker pot
and lid should be washed with warm water or
warm water with mild dishwashing soap and
a non-abrasive cleaning pad. Special caution
must be made not to destroy the rubber parts
in the lid.
Complete Cleaning
Pressure-Control Valve Cleaning:
Remove pressure-control valve after each use
by rotating part 6a counterclockwise to the
removing position, and remove the pressure-
control valve. Make sure the spring remains in
the valve. Rinse every part carefully in water
and reassemble together. Press part 6a to
confirm whether it turns smoothly, otherwise
the spring is not correctly fitted.

or worn. Wash every part in warm water.
Reassemble all parts.
