Preparing Your Pressure Cooker

Before using the electronic pressure cooker for the first time:

1.Remove the cooking pot from the unit.

2.Wash the removable cooking pot with warm, soapy water. The removable cooking pot may also be washed in a dishwasher.

3.Remove the sealing gasket from the cover and wash it with warm, soapy water. (Fig. 1)

Important Note: Do not wash in a dishwasher. Allow the sealing gasket to air dry or dry with a paper towel before inserting back into the cover.

4.The cover of the pressure cooker may be washed with warm, soapy water or can also be placed into the dishwasher after the sealing gasket has been removed.

5.Replace the sealing gasket into the cover by placing it under the gasket holding ring ensuring that the crease in the sealing gasket meets with the gasket holding ring.

Important: The removable cooking pot and pressure cooker cover are dishwasher safe, however, you must remove the gasket before placing the cover in dishwasher.

Using Your Pressure Cooker

Note: For best results, always check that the pressure release valve, the diffuser and the sealing gasket are in good working condition. Visually inspect the sealing gasket for any defects such as cracks, punctures or tears. Also check that there are no particles blocking the pressure release valve or the diffuser openings on the underside of the cover.

If you find any defects in the sealing gasket, do not use the pressure cooker. For a replacement sealing gasket, call customer service at 1 (800) 798-7398.

Once all parts are washed and dried according the “Maintenance & Cleaning” section, your pressure cooker is ready for use.

Note: The pressure cooker cover has a locked position and an open position.

1.Remove the cover. To do so, turn cover clockwise until the cover locking pin lines up with the vapor collector. (Fig. 2)
