Getting Started

6 Remove & Clean the Inner Pot
Remove the inner pot from the cooker base —
always ensure that the inner pot's exterior is
clean and dry, and that the heating element is
free of food debris.
Always check that the element is clean and in
good condition before use.

Check the Sealing Ring &
Sealing Ring Rack
Check that the sealing ring is sitting snuggly
behind the sealing ring rack. When installed, the
sealing ring creates an airtight seal between the
lid and the cooker base. The sealing ring must
always be in place on the sealing ring rack during
use.
To remove: Pull the sealing ring out from behind
the sealing ring rack and set it aside.
To install: Place the sealing ring over the sealing
ring rack, and use your thumbs to press it into
place.
Note: Inspect the sealing ring rack. It should be centered
in the lid and the same height all the way around. Do not
attempt to repair a deformed ring rack. Always check for
cracks, wear, or deformations in your sealing ring prior to
cooking.To prolong the life of your sealing ring, do not
remove it from the lid unless necessary for cleaning.

Secure the Power Cord
Secure the power cord into the base power socket
before connecting to a 120V power source. The
pressure cooker will remain in standby mode when
plugged in but not in operation.
