Caring for Your Viking Pressure Cooker
Maintaining Cooking Vessel/Body
• Clean with a mild detergent like dish washing liquid and hot water by hand.
• Dry thoroughly after each use by hand.
• Avoid using any metal brushes and other harsh objects to scrub the surface.
• Avoid using any industrial detergents or highly concentrated cleaning products.
• We do not recommend placing the body in a dishwasher
• In order to remove burnt-on residue, soak the residue with hot water and let
soak for several hours. Use a soft wooden spatula or non-abrasive scrubbing
pad to loosen residue. Non-abrasive cleaners such as Barkeepers Friend work
well when cleaning stainless steel cookware.
Maintaining Pressure Adjustment Valve
• Should the pressure adjustment valve become blocked by food residue or
other food objects, use a moist, hot cloth to clean it, or rinse thoroughly
under running water until water runs through the valve smoothly. Check the
lock nut on the underside of the valve to determine if it has become loose and
re-tighten as needed.
Maintaining Seal Gasket
• Thoroughly wash and clean gasket with a mild detergent like dish washing
liquid to remove any food residue. Soak in water for several hours in dish
washing water if gasket has absorbed food odors.
• Dry sealing gasket thoroughly after each cleaning and place the sealing
gasket back under the lid for storage.
• We recommend replacing the gasket every 1 - 2 years with normal to
heavy use.
Ordering Replacement Seal Gasket
• In the event that you need to order a replacement gasket, please contact
your Viking retailer or contact Viking Customer Service at 877.533.2547 and
request Viking item number 4050-28Q-GSK.
