Cleaning/Maintenance
Do not wash any parts of the pressure cooker in the dishwasher.
Always wash the pressure cooker thoroughly after every use, or if it has not
been used for an extended period of time.
1. Unplug and let the unit cool before cleaning.
2. Wash the removable cooking pot with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
3. Wipe the outer housing with a clean damp cloth. Do not submerge in water.
4. Turn the lid upside down, grasp the gasket on either side and pull up.
Replace the pressure regulator knob by placing it back onto the metal
fitting and rotating the knob until it drops into place. Clean the rubber
gasket in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace the gasket
by pushing it down inside the edge of the lid. Make sure the groove in the
center of the gasket is positioned around the metal ring on the inside edge
of the lid. Note: If the gasket is not positioned properly, the unit will not
work.
NOTE:
The gasket must always be properly positioned on the underside of
the lid. Check periodically to make sure that it is clean, flexible, and not
cracked or torn.
