• Wash after each use with hot water and washing up liquid
and allow to air dry, or place on top rack of dishwasher.
• Remove all small parts from lid before washing.
• With steam release valve and anti-block shield removed,
clean interior of steam release pipe to prevent clogging.
• To drain water from the lid after dishwashing, take the lid
handle and hold the lid vertically over a sink, then turn it
360°— like turning a steering wheel.
• After cleaning, store the lid upside down on the
cooker base.
• Store sealing rings in a well-ventilated area to decrease
residual odour from highly avoured meals. To eliminate
odours, add 1 cup (250 mL) of water and 1 cup (250 mL)
of white vinegar to inner pot and run Pressure Cook for
5–10 minutes, then QR pressure.
Inner Pot
• Heavy hard water staining may require a vinegar
dampened sponge and some scrubbing to remove.
• If there is tough or burned food residue at the bottom,
soak in hot water for a few hours for easy cleaning.
• Wash after each use.
• Ensure all exterior surfaces are dry before placing in
cooker base.
*Some discolouration may occur after machine washing, but this will not affect the
cooker’s safety or performance.
