BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any packing materials and promotional labels from your stovetop pressure cooker. Be
sure all parts are included. We recommend keeping the box and packing materials for use at a
later date. Before using your Cuisinart Professional Collection Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker
for the first time, make sure that the Pressure Release Valve is properly inserted within the
Pressure Regulator. To secure Pressure Release Valve, push valve into place until you hear a
click. Lift gently to ensure that it is attached. Remove any dust from shipping by wiping parts
with a damp cloth. Thoroughly clean the cooking pot in the dishwasher or with warm, soapy
water. Rinse, towel- or air-dry. Dry thoroughly before each use as moisture can build up under
the lid handle and can cause steam to escape as the pressure cooker heats up. This is not a
leak and the steam will eventually evaporate.
