If food sticks or burns to the surface of the Cooking Pot, then fill it with hot
soapy water and let it soak before cleaning. Use a rubber or nylon spatula
to remove stubborn residue. If scouring is necessary, use a non-abrasive
cleaner and a nylon scouring pad or brush.
If white spots form on surface of Cooking Pot, then soak it in a solution of
vinegar or lemon juice and warm water for 30 minutes. Rinse and dry.
Note:
Never use metal utensils or cleaning devices on the Cooking Pot, as
this may result in scratching and damaging the non-stick coating.
Exterior
Wipe the exterior of the Heating Base with a damp cloth and polish dry. DO
NOT use harsh abrasives, scourers or chemicals, as these will damage the
surfaces. To prevent damage to the Pressure Cooker do not use alkaline
cleaning agents when cleaning. Only use a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Never immerse the heating base in water or any other liquid.
Condensation Collector
Empty any collected water from the Condensation Collector after each use.
Wash in warm, soapy water.
Lid and Sealing Gasket
Always examine the gasket before each use. Remove Sealing Gasket for
cleaning as needed. Hand clean using warm, soapy water, dry thoroughly,
and replace Sealing Gasket in Lid before use. Ensure the Sealing Gasket is
smoothly and securely in place in the gasket holder. If the Sealing Gasket is
not in the correct position the Lid will not be able to form a seal and will not
be able to gain pressure.
Leave the Lid upturned for storage, as this will also extend the life of the
gasket.
The silicon Sealing Gasket on the inside of your Pressure Cooker Lid may
deteriorate over time. Sealing Gasket may need to be replaced every 1 – 2
years depending on regular use.
Contact the Admiral customer service to order replacement parts.
Steam Release Valve
Ensure the Steam Release Valve is clear from debris before you begin
using the Pressure Cooker. Remove the valve and gently clean. Ensure it is
completely dry before replacing.
