BEFORE FIRST USE
1
Remove and discard any packaging
material, stickers, and tape from
the unit.
2 Pay particular attention to operational
instructions, warnings, and important
safeguards to avoid any injury or
property damage.
3 Wash the pressure lid, silicone ring,
removable cooking pot, Cook & Crisp™
Basket, deluxe reversible rack, and
condensation collector in warm, soapy
water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER clean the cooker base in the
dishwasher. Inspect the pressure lid
to ensure there is no debris blocking
the valves.
4 The silicone ring is reversible and can
be inserted in either direction. Insert the
silicone ring around the outer edge of
the silicone ring rack on the underside
of the lid. Ensure it is fully inserted and
lies flat under the silicone ring rack.
INSTALLING THE
CONDENSATION COLLECTOR
To install the condensation collector, slide it
into the slot on the cooker base. Slide it out
to remove it for hand-washing after each use.
REMOVING & REINSTALLING
THE ANTI-CLOG CAP
Make sure the anti-clog cap is in the
correct position before using the pressure
lid. The anti-clog cap protects the inner
valve of the pressure lid from clogging
and protects users from potential food
splatters. It should be cleaned after every
use with a cleaning brush.
To remove it, hold the anti-clog cap
between your thumb and and bent index
finger, then rotate your wrist clockwise. To
reinstall, position it in place and press down.
NOTE: Prior to each use, make sure
the silicone ring is well-seated in the
silicone ring rack and the anti-clog cap
is mounted properly on the pressure
release valve.
