To remove the inner lid:
1. Open the main multicooker lid, on the inside of it press 2 plastic holders toward the centre until the lid is removed. Wipe
the surfaces of both lids with wet cloth, wash the removable lid with soap if necessary.
2. After cleaning insert the aluminium lid into the lower grooves and match it with the main lid. Press the upper part of
the inner lid until it clicks to place. The inner lid must be fixed tight.
To remove the steam valve, carefully pull the outer housing up, holding it on the latch of the lid. Turn the valve, pull the plastic
latch on the inside toward the pointer and remove the outer housing. Wash both parts of the valve and reassemble it in reverse
order. To prevent the valve rubber from rupture, do not bend or stretch it when cleaning and assembling A3 .

located on the inner side of the lid is not deformed or damaged in any way.
There should not be any foreign objects between the lid and the housing of
the device, remove if any.
Always make sure that the heating element is clean and fits tightly with the
bowl before cooking.
