Care And Cleaning; Limited Warranty - Power Cooker PC-WAL1 Owner's Manual

Care and Cleaning

CLEANING THE SAFETY DEVICES: In addition to the gasket, the other safety devices on the Power Cooker must also be cleaned after each use.
THE PRESSURE VALVE: To remove the Pressure Valve, simply pull up and valve will release from it's spring lock mechanism. Apply mild detergent and wash it
under warm running water. After cleaning, check to see that the interior spring-loaded part moves freely by pressing down on it. Put the Pressure Valve back
in place by pushing it down onto the spring-loaded mechanism. This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to
repair it yourself. Contact customer service for qualified repair information.
TO CLEAN: After use, unplug unit and allow to cool completely before cleaning. The Power Cooker must be cleaned thoroughly after each use in order to avoid
staining caused by a build-up of food or cooking residue.
DO NOT POUR COLD WATER INTO A HOT POWER COOKER.
Note: To ensure safe operation of this Power Cooker, strictly follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions after each use, should a tiny fragment of food
(such as a grain of rice or pea shell) remain in the unit, it could prevent the safety devices from operating during subsequent use.
IMPORTANT: Always remove the Pressure Valve and clean the opening with pin to remove any blockage that might have occurred during the cooking process.
This must be done after each use. The removable cooking pot and Lid are immersible for cleaning. Rinse cooking pot and Lid under hot running water. Use
only a mild liquid detergent and a soft cloth, sponge or nylon scrubber for cleaning. Do not use abrasive powders, bicarbonate of soda or bleach. Do not use
scouring pads.
WIPE BASE AFTER EACH USE WITH A SOFT, DAMP CLOTH OR SPONGE, MAKING SURE ALL FOOD RESIDUE IS REMOVED. DO NOT IMMERSE BASE IN WATER
When cleaning the Lid, the Rubber Gasket (page 6, Illustration #1) must be removed and washed separately with a sponge or soft cloth
and warm, soapy water.
• Unplug and let the Power Cooker cool to room temperature before cleaning.
• Wash the removable pot with warm, soapy water and clean with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse off with clean water and towel dry.
• Remove the Rubber Gasket (page 6, Illustration #1) from the underside of the self-locking Lid. Wash all with warm, soapy water and clean with a soft cloth
or sponge. Rinse off with clean water and towel dry.
• 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 torn. If
damaged, do not use this unit.
• Wipe the mirror finished outer Housing with a damp soft cloth or sponge (glass cleaner gives housing a brilliant lustre).
• Never use harsh chemical detergents, scouring pads or powders on any of the parts or components.
• Always check that the Pressure Valve and Float Valve are in good working order and debris free.
Note: The Rubber Gasket must be replaced every year, or sooner if necessary. The Rubber Gasket may also need replacing if Power Cooker is not
used for a long period of time, as it can harden from disuse, making it unable to form an airtight seal. The Rubber Gasket must be replaced only
with another one of the correct type and size for this Power Cooker.
