2) BEFORE USING YOUR PRESSURE
COOKER FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Read this instruction manual carefully.
• Clean all the parts thoroughly with hot
water and normal detergent, rinse and dry
using a soft cloth.
• If white stains appear as a result of an
excess of lime in the water, clean with a drop
of vinegar.
• Washing in the dishwasher may alter the
colour of the stainless steel.
• Do not use wire sponges or abrasive
products as these could scratch the stainless
steel coating.
• Use a suitable size hotplate or gas burner
equal to, or smaller than, the pan base.
Overheating may blacken the stainless steel
or result in brown or blue stains. These stains
will disappear with normal cleaning. Washing
with water and neutral detergent and then
rinsing thoroughly will maintain the life of the
appliance's stainless steel coating indefinitely.
