Care & Cleaning
1 Allow pressure cooker to cool completely before cleaning. Unplug
the power cord from the outlet and then from the pressure cooker.
2 Wash the pressure cooker removable pot, sealing gasket and lids by
hand with warm, soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly. (See Figure 1,
page 14, for removing and installing sealing gasket).
3 If necessary, wipe the power cord clean with a damp cloth. Dry
thoroughly. Never immerse the power cord or plug.
4 Replace sealing gasket securely in lid. After each use, check gasket
for any tears and make sure the pressure regulator dial and valve are
in good working order. Also remove the anti-blockage cover, steam
release dial, and clean the steam vent thoroughly (See Figure 2,
page 14). Ensure that there are no food particles or any other
foreign matter blocking the steam vents prior to putting the anti-
blockage cover and steam release dial back on the lid. The anti-
blockage cover helps prevent food particles from entering Steam
Release Valve.
You must ensure that this is cleaned after each use. It is important
to check the steam vent thoroughly and use a narrow utensil, if
necessary, to poke through the steam vent and ensure that it is clear
and that no food particles adhere to the walls, thus blocking the
steam from being freely released.
5 Do not store pressure cooker with lid locked in place. If you store the
lid locked onto the pressure cooker it will reduce the life of the
gasket since it will stay compressed during non-use.
