Pressure Cooker:
Clean your pressure cooker after every use with hot water and mild
dishwashing soap. Do not use steel wool or any cleaner that
contains chlorine or abrasive/caustic cleaners.
The pot
without its lid
can also be cleaned in the dishwasher. The
pressure lid should always be cleaned by hand.
White spots may form on the bottom of the pressure cooker after
boiling. They are caused by hard water and can easily be removed
with vinegar or any non-abrasive/caustic hard water cleaner.
Regulator Valve:
Remove the plastic outer knob from the regulator valve by pressing
down and turning it completely to the left position:
The outer knob should then be lifted off.
Clean the valve by holding the valve and lid
under running water. Once clean, replace
outer knob.
Cooking pots can be used daily. Store the pressure cooker lid only
after cleaning and drying it. When stored together, the lid should be
upside-down on the pot.

Sealing Ring:
To clean the sealing ring, rinse it under hot
running water and dry it. As soon as the
sealing ring become hard and turns a
brownish color, it should be replaced.
Safety Valve:
The safety valve only needs to be rinsed
with running water. Make sure water runs
through the valve so it is not clogged in any
way. You can test to make sure the valve is
clear by gently moving it up and down
using a pointed object.
