HOW TO CLEAN YOUR PRESSURE COOKER

 

1.

 

Always make sure the Pressure Cooker is unplugged, depressurized and completely 

cooled down before dismantling. 

2.

 

Use a non-abrasive sponge or damp wash cloth to clean the exterior of the outer 
body (13) and the exterior surface of the pressure cooker.  NEVER immerse the 

pressure cooker in any liquids. 

3.

 

Remove the Condensation Cup (12) and rinse it thoroughly and let dry.  Clean the 

Upper Ring (9) with a damp sponge or wash cloth. 

4.

 

Clean the Lid (2) with warm soapy water, including the Rubber Seal Ring (18), 

Pressure Limiting Valve (3), Filter (17), Vent, Float Valve (5) and let dry thoroughly. 

 

The Pressure Limiting Valve (3) pops off easily by gently reaching underneath it and 

gently prying upwards.  Be careful not to damage the thin wire spring under it. 

 

On the underside of the lid below the Pressure Limiting Valve (3), is a small metal 

filter cap which can be easily removed to clean. 

5.

 

Let parts dry completely before reassembling. 

6.

 

Wash the Inner Pot (6) and Wire Rack (20) with a non-abrasive sponge and allow to 
air dry or use a towel.  It is not recommended to use any type of scouring pad that 

can scratch the non-stick surface of the Inner Pot (6). 

7.

 

Clean the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) and the holes with a small brush to ensure 

smooth flow of steam during the release cycle. 

8.

 

Store the inner pot inside of the Pressure Cooker.  Store Pressure Cooker in a cool, 

dry location. 

 

NOTE:  Any servicing required shall be performed by an authorized service 
representative or from the original manufacturer or distributer. 

 

How to Clean the Filter: 

If you wish to clean the filter (17), you may remove it by pulling vertically.  To re-attach, 
simply line up the filter (17) and press down to secure the filter (Figure 23).
