CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unplug and let the Programmable Pressure Cooker cool to
room temperature before cleaning.
2. Wash the Removable Cooking Pot with warm soapy water and a
clean, soft cloth or sponge. Rinse off with clean water and dry
thoroughly.
3. Remove the Rubber Gasket from the underside of the Self-
Locking Lid. Wash both with warm soapy water and a clean,
soft cloth or sponge. Rinse off with clean water and dry
thoroughly.
4. The Rubber Gasket must always be properly positioned on the
underside of the Lid. Check periodically to make sure that it is
clean, flexible and not cracked or torn. If damaged, do not use
this appliance. Contact the Consumer Service Department toll-
free at 1-800-233-9054 for information on purchasing a
replacement Gasket, (P/N 21321).
5. Wipe the Housing clean with a damp soft cloth or sponge. Do
not pour any liquid into the Pressure Cooker's Housing.
6. Never use harsh chemical detergents, scouring pads or
powders on any of the parts or components.
7. Always check that the Steam Release Valve
and Pressure Safety Valves are in good
working order. After unit is cooled, remove
the Lid. Turn the Pressure Regulator Knob
to CLEAN (see Figure 11) and carefully
remove. Turn the Lid over and place on
table top as shown to the side. Using the
brush supplied, check and remove any
food or foreign particles that may be
lodged in the Steam Release Valve.
(See Figure 12.) Replace the Pressure
Regulator Knob before using again.
8. In order to maintain the good
performance of your Pressure Cooker,
the bottom of the Removable Cooking
Pot, in the area of the Sensor Pad,
must be cleaned after each use. The
Sensor must be free of dirt, food, or
residue. To do so, wipe with a soft,
damp cloth and be sure to dry
thoroughly. (See Figure 13.)
9. Any service requiring disassembly, other
than the above cleaning, must be
performed by a qualified appliance
repair technician.
10. Store the Pressure Cooker with the Lid
resting upside-down on the Removable
Cooking Pot.
