cooker is overheated, purple to brown stains might appear on the surface. These stains
do not affect correct functioning of the cookware and are not hazardous to health. As
such they do not represent a fault and cannot be claimed.
Never expose the pressure cooker vessel to detergents including water-soluble detergents
for prolonged periods of time. Do not store remaining foods inside the vessel.

and dry, lightly smear with cooking oil or fat and insert back.
If the seal shows any signs of leakage or loss of fl exibility, it must be immediately
