CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Instructions
Regular cleaning and maintenance of the appliance is essential to ensure product
safety and eff ectiveness. Follow the steps below to ensure the best performance of
the appliance:
•
During cooking, excess liquid is collected in a small plastic reservoir attached
to the back of the appliance. Empty this reservoir after each use. Pull out the
plastic reservoir carefully to empty it.
•
It can sometimes happen that small pieces of food get under the anti-block
shield (16). The anti-block shield (16) is located on the underside of the lid
directly below the pressure limit valve (1). Clean the anti-block shield (16) after
each use with water and a dry, soft cloth.
•
Check and clean the big seal ring (17) regularly. This is located on the
underside of the lid. The big seal ring (17) is attached around a metal ring that
is designed to hold the seal ring in place. You can remove the big seal ring (17)
for cleaning by carefully pulling it off the metal ring. Clean the big seal ring
(17) with water and a dry, soft cloth and then replace it by gently pressing it
over the metal ring. Make sure that the big seal ring (17) is properly seated
over the metal ring, otherwise the appliance will not be able to pressurize
properly.
