SIMPLE CLEANING
To extend the life span of the pressure cooker, remove any excess foods after each use.
Wash, clean and dry the pressure cooker making sure all the food residue is removed,
especially acid or alkali foods. The pressure cooker pot and lid should be washed with
warm water, a mild detergent and a nonabrasive cleaning pad.
• Do not store any food inside the cooker after use.
• Clean and dry the cooker after each use. Warm water is recommended for cleaning.
• Do not wash the lid in a dishwasher.
• Before each use, ensure the cover of the pressure indicator or safety valve is not damaged
and it fits well. If there is damage, replace the cover before using the cooker again.
• After each use, gently release and clean the anti-clogging nut and the pressure regulator
completely (see Figure 10, 11 and 12 - Page 14). The steam discharging tube and
the anti-clogging nut should not be filled or blocked by any substances such as food
residue. When installing the pressure regulator, make sure that it is installed in the correct
position.
• After each use, the safety valve should be examined to ensure it is clean. Clean with hot
water if required.
• After each use, the rubber gasket should be cleaned thoroughly with warm water. It
should be installed back in the lid after washing.
• Do not use steel wool, or abrasive scouring powders or liquids.
• The rubber gasket will last longer if you place the lid upside down on top of the
pressure cooker body after it has been washed and dried.
• Depending on how often you use your pressure cooker, you should replace the silicone
gasket, the O-ring for the safety valve and sealing ring for the pressure regulator every
1–2 years. If these parts are damaged (have tears or cracks, deformation on the edges or
hardening), these parts should be replaced immediately. Failure to do so may affect
proper functioning and safety of your pressure cooker. For details on replacement parts
for your pressure cooker please contact Tramontina Australia Customer Service.
