11. Cleaning and care instructions
Under normal circumstances, the valve is self-cleaning. However, if
food particles have passed through the valve, then it is necessary to
take the valve apart in order to clean it. (see section 11.1).
Tighten loose handles or grips with a screwdriver. If you have
difficulties, contact your local dealer or a Demeyere Service Center
(see section 14).
After each use, remove the gasket from the lid. Rinse out and wash
both, the gasket and the lid, taking care to thoroughly clean the area
around the flanges.
The SI valve (secondary safety device) must always be correctly fitted
to the lid when using the pressure cooker (= spring visible on the inside of the
lid). Never remove this valve for cleaning!
Do not wash the pan, lid, protection cap with cooking times, or gasket
in a dishwasher.
Never remove stains or baked-in marks with abrasive means such as
with knives, steel wool or copper cloths. Instead, soak in hot water
with a little detergent until stains can be easily removed with a soft brush, sponge
or cloth.
The printed protection cap in particular should only ever be cleaned with a damp
cloth (never use abrasive cleaners)
Do not use any corrosive agents like Javel water for cleaning.
Remove obstinate calcium stains (white spots) with a few drops of
vinegar or lemon juice.
If the lid is difficult to turn when closing, then apply a light film of cooking
oil to the rubber gasket.
When storing, place the inverted lid on the pan so that the rubber
gasket inside the lid remains unstressed and free of deformation.
