Sealing Ring
The sealing ring (pre-installed) allows for an
airtight seal between the inner pot and the lid.
See Cleaning the Sealing Ring for further
information (page 29).
Anti-Block Shield
The anti-block shield prevents food from
clogging the steam release pipe and helps
regulate pressure during the cooking
process. [Figure 1.6]

Inner Pot
The inner pot is made of aluminium metal
with nonstick ceramic coating.
CAUTION:
Do not fill the inner pot higher than the
•
"PC MAX—2/3" line (Pressure Cooking
Maximum), as marked on the inner pot.
Do not fill the inner pot higher than the
•
"—½" line when cooking food such as
applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley,
oatmeal, split peas, noodles, etc. These
foods may foam, froth, or splatter, and
may clog the steam release pipe and/or
steam release valve.
Steam Rack
The steam rack can be used for steaming
vegetables and meats, holding pressure
cooker-safe containers, and making cakes (see
Cake, page 25).
Note: Only use heatproof and waterproof
containers on the steam rack and inside the
pressure cooker.
