Allow pressure cooker to cool completely before cleaning. Unplug the
power cord from the outlet and then from the pressure cooker.
The pressure cooker housing can be washed with a warm damp cloth,
do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads, or immerse the
pressure cooker housing or power cord in water or any other liquid.
Ensure all parts are dried thoroughly.
Wash the pressure cooker removable pot, sealing gasket and lid by
hand with warm, soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly. (See Figure 1,
page 14, for removing and installing sealing gasket). Do not place
these parts in the dishwasher.
Replace sealing gasket securely in lid. After each use, check the
sealing gasket for any tears and make sure the pressure release valve
and steam vent are in good working order. To inspect the Steam vent,
remove the pressure release valve from the top of the lid. Hold the lid
up to a light and inspect the vent to ensure it is clear and free of any
particles. You must ensure that this is inspected after each use. If
there is any food particles within the steam vent use a narrow
utensil, if necessary, to poke through the valve to remove them.
The following parts can be placed in the top rack of the dishwasher,
or washed by hand with warm soapy water:
Steaming rack, rice measuring cup, water collector, and rice scoop
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
