4. CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
The sealing ring/gasket
We recommend that the sealing ring be replaced
every one or two years, depending upon the amount
of use.
Do not use substitute sealing ring otherwise your
guarantee will be invalidated. You can order your
replacement sealing ring for this model from the
Tower website or by calling our customer helpline
Wash the sealing ring after each use in warm water
and detergent to remove any debris from both the
seal and the groove in which it sits. The sealing ring
lifts out and is put back by easing in place under the
rim of the lid.
Note: If the pressure cooker is not used for a long
period of time, the sealing ring may need replacing
as it can harden and then will not form an air-tight
seal. Replace the seal immediately
The pressure regulator
The pressure regulator must be cleaned
after each use. After lifting the pressure
regulator off the lid, clean and rinse the
pressure regulator under running water.
If a deep clean is required, gently pull out
the blue silicone part by releasing it from
the 2 small side locks of the black cap.
And reassemble as the image show on
the
right.
Check the bottom blue silicone part is locked back in
and press the bottom of the regulator to check if the
spring is working fine.
Red pressure indicator valve
Turn the lid over, and check that the red
pressure indicator valve moves freely. If the
valve requires cleaning, remove the valve by
using a spanner and turn anti-clockwise. Clean
the valve and refit it correctly and securely.
Storage
Please make sure all parts are thoroughly dried
before storage. After initial use, to avoid damage to
the sealing ring, do not store your pressure cooker
with the cover fitted in place; instead, place the
cover upside down, with the seal uppermost
and store the pressure cooker in a cool,
dry place away from direct sunlight.
