13. CLEANING AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

To maintain your pressure cooker in its original state, this one should be washed with warm
water, mild dish-washing soap and a non abrasive cleaning pad after each use. SEE THE
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d).
Never use dishwasher to clean you pressure cooker. Stainless steel may be discolored in a
dishwasher because of long time action of hot water and salt.
LID
To remove any unwanted food deposits, clean the
pressure sensor, pressure and safety valves by
rinsing them with warm water.
Never clean lid (1) in the dishwasher as this may
cause serious damages.
POT
1. From time to time, depending on the food and
additives used, as well as the lime content in water,
gold-coloured or bluish spots may appear on the
bottom. To remove stubborn stains and any
discoloration in the interior of the pressure cooker,
try adding half lemon juice and 1 to 2 cups of water
to the pressure cooker pot. Cook it at high pressure
for 15 minutes, then remove from heat. Let pressure
release naturally, then wash properly.
2. Never use corrosive or abrasive detergents like bleach
(not even dilute in water), and foods with a high acidity
content or salt water for long periods of time.
RUBBER GASKET
1. The gasket is made from hard wearing silicone. Wash
the gasket with warm soapy water, after rinse it well
and towel dry. Cover it with a thin coat of cooking oil.
Follow this procedure every time you wash the pressure
cooker in order to extend the life of the gasket.
2. When storing the pressure cooking, place the lid
face down allowing ventilation and preventing any
bad odors.
