MAINTENANCE

Please clean the pressure cooker, add water 

and heat half an hour before first use, to elimi-

nate odor.

1. Maintenance of the cooker:

1) Clean away the dirt.

2) Then wipe off the water and keep the 

cooker dry.

3) Don’t scrape the cooker surface with hard 

materials such as metal to avoid abrasion.

4) Don’t touch the cooker with other kinds of 

metal to avoid of chemical corrosion.

5) Don’t store food inside the cooker for long 

periods of time.

2. Maintenance of the sealing ring(Fig.10)

1)  Remove the sealing ring from the lid. 

Clean away the dirt from the ring and the 

lid with hot water or detergent.

2)  Wipe off the water and dry straight away 

to prevent rust. 

3)  Put the sealing ring back on the lid.

4)  It’s advised you replace the sealing ring 

every 1-2 years - immediately if there is 

obvious signs of wear and tear/damage.

3.  Maintenance of the safety valve, and the 

steam-releasing pipe both belong to pres-

sure-limiting valve operation parts.

Check the steam-releasing pipe and the 

safety valve. If either is blocked, clean it 

and then wash and rinse the pipe with 

water.

Special dismantling as follows: (Fig.11)

1)  Steam-releasing pipe: Take out the 

pressure valve by hand and clean it as 

illustrated on Fig.12.

2)  The safety valve: Wash it as illustrated 

on Fig. 13

Caution: Do not lose small parts such as 

pressure-limiting valve. There is no problem if 

the color of the small sealing ring changed. It 

is suggested to change the sealing ring once 

every 1-2 years according the usage frequen-

cy. But it must be changed immediately if 

there is any damage or shape change. Please 

contact your dealer or the sales department of 

our company for replacement parts. Never use 

substitutes.

Storing: Put the body and lid separately in a 

cool place.
