THE PRESSURE DISCHARGING VALVE: To remove the Pressure Discharging
Valve, simply pull up and the valve will release from its spring lock
mechanism. Apply mild detergent and wash under warm running water.
Put the Valve back in place by pushing down until it clicks.
After use, unplug unit and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
The Pressure 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 PRESSURE COOKER.
Note: To ensure safe operation of this pressure 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 Discharging Valve and clean to
remove any blockage that might have occurred during the cooking process.
This must be done after each use.
The Inner Tank and Lid should be rinsed 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. Rinse off with clean water and towel dry.

guide only after you have read the Owner’s Manual thoroughly.
When cleaning the Lid, the Sealant Washer must be removed and washed
separately with a sponge or soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse off
with clean water and towel dry.
Remove the Water Collector and spill out water if necessary so that it is
empty for next use.
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.
Never use harsh chemical detergents, scouring pads or powders on any of
the parts or components.
• The Sealant Washer 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.
• Always check that the Pressure Discharging Valve and Floating Valve are
in good working order and debris free.
Note: The Sealant Washer must be replaced every year, or sooner if
necessary. It may also need replacing if Pressure 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 Sealant Washer must be replaced only with another
one of the correct type and size for this Pressure Cooker.
