Maintenance
Storage of your Pressure Cooker
■
Turn the cover upside down on the pot.
To ensure that your Pressure Cooker lasts as long as possible
■
Do not over-heat the pot when empty.
For models with a non-stick coating
■
It is recommended to use wooden or plastic utensils to stir food.
■
Do not cut directly onto the non-stick coating with a knife.
■
Discoloration and lines may appear on the non-stick surface but will
not affect the performance of the pot. T-Fal guarantees that the non-stick
coating on the Pressure Cooker complies with regulations concerning
materials in contact with food.
To clean your Pressure Cooker if it becomes discolored
For aluminum models:
■
Follow the procedure listed on page 7 (Before using for the first time)
adding bicarbonate of soda.
For stainless steel models:
■
Clean the pot with a special stainless steel cleaner sold at your local
hardware store.
To change the gasket

Make sure you buy the correct gasket for your model.
■
Align the hole in the gasket with the locking pin in the cover.
■
Fit the gasket in position all around the cover. Check that it fits
snugly against the cover.
Replace the gasket every year.
After 10 years use, it is advisable to have your Pressure Cooker
