Care And Cleaning - Toastmaster TM-670PC Instruction Manual

FAULT
Rice is not fully cooked
(too hard)
Pressure cooker won't
energize
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not
try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly must be performed by a
qualified appliance repair technician.
The pressure cooker should be cleaned thoroughly following each use to maintain
optimal performance and avoid any staining from food build-up or residue.
1. Before cleaning, unplug from outlet and allow pressure cooker and all parts to cool
completely.
2. The removable inner pot can be washed in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher.
Wipe the inside and outside of the pressure cooker as well as the lid with a slightly
damp, soft cloth and mild detergent if needed. NEVER IMMERSE THE PRESSURE
COOKER OR CORD IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
3. NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS TO CLEAN THE
PRESSURE COOKER, AS THOSE MAY DAMAGE THE SURFACES.
4. If there is any excess build-up or food residue, the rubber gasket ring on the inside
of the lid can be removed for cleaning. Gently remove the rubber gasket ring from
the wire gasket holder on the inside of the lid. To replace it firmly work the channel
in the center of the rubber gasket ring back around the wire gasket holder in a single
spot and continue to press the gasket back under the wire gasket holder around the
entire inner lid (image D).
5. The pressure valve on the lid handle should be removed regularly for cleaning. To remove
the pressure valve, grasp the valve and gently pull up. It should disengage from the
metal post in the handle. Apply a drop of mild detergent and thoroughly rinse under warm
running water. After the pressure valve is completely dry, put it back in place by lining it
up with the metal post in the handle and gently press down until it is engaged (image A).
RUBBER GASKET RING: On occasion it may be necessary to replace the rubber
gasket ring. The gasket ring may need replacement simply due to frequent use. The
gasket ring may also need to be replaced if the pressure cooker is not used for a long
period of time and the gasket has hardened or cracked. The rubber gasket ring should
only be replaced with a suitable gasket ring of the same type and size.
To store, be sure all parts are clean and dry. Store appliance in its box or in a clean, dry
place. Never store it while it is hot or wet. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance;
disconnect it from the appliance and keep it loosely coiled in the inner pot or nearby.
