Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and replacing the sealing ring:
To clean the sealing ring, rinse it under hot running water
and dry it. As soon as the sealing ring becomes hard (when
it begins to turn a brown colour), it should be replaced.
The safety valve
Only needs – along with cleaning the lid – to be run through
and rinsed with running water.
Cleaning the pressure regulator valve:
Remove the plastic top. To do this, press the
valve down and turn it completely to the left position:
The valve can now be lifted off and removed upward from
its catch. Clean by running under water and reinsert into
catch.
Please ensure that the grooves on the valve are put
into the appropriate holders.
You should store the pressure cooker after cleaning and
drying it in a clean, dry and protected environment. Do not
put the lid on and do not lock it, but store it with the lid upside
down on the top of the pot, for example.
Handles
Check continuously the fastness of the pressure cooker
handles. Once you observe handles become loose, use a
screwdriver to fasten them properly again
Please note:
the pressure cooker`s lid is not
dishwasher safe.
