5–10 minutes, then QR pressure.

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 discoloration may occur after machine washing, but this will not affect the cooker’s safety or
