Remove the timer before cleaning.*
■ Wash your cooker after each use.
■ ■ For the models fitted with folding pan handles, we
recommend cleaning the pressure cooker with the
handles folded.
Dishwasher cleaning
■ You can wash the pot and the basket in the
dishwasher.
■ You can also put the lid into the dishwasher, on the
condition that you have removed the timer* and
the seal for the lid.
Cleaning by hand
■ Wash your pot and basket in warm water with a
little washing-up liquid. You can use a scouring pad on
the inside.
■ Remove the seal from the lid and clean it in warm
water with a little washing-up liquid.
■ Clean your lid under water with a sponge and
washing-up liquid.
■ Let the lid drip dry after cleaning.
Re-fitting the seal
■ For better visibility, this operation must be carried
out with the lid in the open position, i.e.: with the jaws
open.
■ To ensure a perfect seal, make sure the seal slips
fully under each tab - Fig 17 - 18 by pressing and
pushing it with your finger towards the edge of the lid.
Security
Your Clipso is equipped with several safety devices, 2 of which are for over pressure:
■ ■ First device: the safety valve releases the pressure and the steam escapes from under the control module - Fig 20a
■ ■ Second device: steam flows from between the lid and the pot - Fig 20b
If one of these security devices is set off:
■ Turn off the heat source.
■ Let the pressure cooker cool down.
■ Open the cooker.
■ Check and clean the operation valve, steam release outlet, safety valve and seal.
