Cleaning and Maintenance

Do not wash any parts of the Electric Pressure Cooker in the dishwasher except
for the removable cooking pot. Always wash the Electric Pressure Cooker
thoroughly after every use, or, if it has not been used for an extended period.
1. Unplug and let the unit cool before cleaning.
2. Remove the removable cooking pot and wash with warm soapy water or in
the dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Wipe the outer housing with a clean damp cloth. Do not submerge in water.
4. Remove the condensation reservoir by pulling it down. Wash with warm,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace by pushing into place.
5. Turn the lid upside down; grip the silicone gasket and pull up to remove.
Clean the silicone gasket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Replace the gasket by positioning it inside the edge of the lid and pushing it
down. Make sure the groove in the center of the gasket is positioned around
the metal ring on the inside edge of the lid. NOTE: The silicone gasket must
always be properly positioned on the underside of the lid; otherwise the unit
will not work. Check periodically to make sure that it is clean, flexible, and not
cracked or torn. (See "getting started" section of this manual.)
6. If the silicone gasket appears damaged, cracked or torn, do not use the unit
and contact our customer service department at 1-800-207-0806.
7. For optimal performance, the bottom of the Electric Pressure Cooker, in the
area under the removable cooking pot where the temperature sensor and
heating pad are located must be cleaned after each use. Wipe with a soft
damp cloth and be sure to dry thoroughly.
8. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any of the parts.
Cleaning the Pressure Regular Knob
ALWAYS check that the pressure regulator knob and the pressure safety valves
are in good working order before each use.
1. After the unit has cooled, remove the lid.
2. Press down and at the same time turn the pressure regulator knob
counterclockwise past STEAM to CLEAN setting and carefully lift to remove.
Look through the holes to make sure there is no particle build up, and put it
under running water.
