Cleaning And Care Instructions For The Duromatic - Kuhn Rikon DUROMATIC User Manual

Meat / vegetables / frozen vegetables / fresh fruits /
dried foods (excluding pulses): Use normal or fast pressure reduction
(for ready-prepared meals,
allow the pressure cooker to stand beside the heat source for one
minute before reducing pressure).
Fish / risotto:
Use fast pressure reduction.
Foods with a high fat content or mash-type foods (e.g. dried pulses):
Use slow pressure reduction and gently shake the cooker before
opening the lid to prevent the contents from spitting when the lid is
opened.
After cooking meat with a skin (e.g. ox tongue) which may swell un-
der the effect of pressure, do not prick the meat while the skin is
swollen as you might be scalded.
10. Cleaning and care instructions
for the DUROMATIC
Under normal circumstances, the valve is self-cleaning. However, if
food particles have passed through the valve, then it is necessary to
take the valve apart in order to clean it. (See section 10.1.1)
Tighten loose handles or grips with a screwdriver. If you have
difficulties, contact your local dealer or a KUHN RIKON Service
Center. (See section 13)
After each use, remove the gasket from the lid. Rinse out and wash
both, the gasket and the lid, taking care to thoroughly clean the area
around the flanges.
The SI valve (secondary safety device) must always be correctly fitted
to the lid when using the pressure cooker (= spring visible on the in-
side of the lid). Never remove this valve for cleaning!
Do not wash the pan, lid, protection cap with cooking times, or gasket
in a dishwasher.
Never remove stains or baked-in marks with abrasive means such as
with knives, steel wool or copper cloths. Instead, soak in hot water
with a little detergent until stains can be easily removed with a soft
brush, sponge or cloth.
