Note: Overfilling the pressure cooker (see Instructions for Use) may clog the pressure limit valve which can cause excess pressure to develop.

4.Anti-Block Cover

Prevents any food material from blocking the pressure limit valve.

5.Pressure Relief Device

When the pressure cooker reaches the maximum allowable pressure and temperature, the cooking pot will move down until lid separates from the sealing ring, releasing air pressure.

6.Thermostat

The power will automatically shut off when the cooking pot temperature reaches the preset value, or the pressure cooker is heating without any food inside.

7.Thermal Fuse

The circuit will be opened when the pressure cooker reaches the maximum temperature.

CLEANING

1.Unplug the power cord before cleaning.

2.Clean the outer body with a soft cloth such as a paper towel or microfibre cloth. Do not immerse the outer body in water or pour water into it.

3.Rinse with warm water the underside of the lid including the sealing ring, pressure limit valve, air escape and float valve. Dry completely.

4.Clean area under upper ring with dampened cloth or microfibre cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners.

5.Cooking pot is dishwasher-safe. To hand-clean the cooking pot, use a soft cloth or sponge and wipe. Be careful not to damage the inside coating. Never use harsh chemicals or scouring pads.

6.To clean sealing ring, hold the knob on the sealing ring supporting cover and pull the sealing ring up. After cleaning, put the sealing ring supporting cover back.
