	Cleaning and Maintenance

Do not wash any parts of the Multi-cooker in the dishwasher except for the re- movable cooking pot. Always wash the Multi-cooker thoroughly after every use, or if it has not been used for an extended period.

1.Unplug and let the unit cool before cleaning.

2.Remove the removable cooking pot and wash with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

3.Wipe the outer housing with a clean damp cloth. Do not submerge in water.

4.Remove the condensation res ervoir by pul ling it down. Wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace by pushing into place.

5.Turn the lid upside down; grip the silicon e gasket and pull up to remove. Clean the silicone gasket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace the gasket by positioning it inside the edge of the lid and pushing

it down. Make sure the groove in the center of the gasket i s positioned around the m etal ring on the inside edge of the lid . NOTE: The s ilicone gasket must always be properly positione d on the underside of the lid; otherwise the unit will not work. Check periodically to make sure that it is clean, flexible, and not cracked or torn. (See pg. 10 “Getting started”)

6.If the silicone gasket appears damaged, cracked or torn, do not use the unit and contact our customer service department at 1-800-207-0806.

7.For optimal performance, the bottom of the Multi-cooker, in thearea under the removable cooking pot where the temperature sensor and heating pad are located must be cleaned after each use. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and be sure to dry thoroughly.

8.Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any of the parts. NOTE: Store the Multi-cooker with the lid resting upside down ontop of the removable cook ing pot. This will protect the valves, knobs and p ressure regulator on the t op of the lid. If the Multi-c ooker is stored with the lid sealed, stale odors may form inside.

Cleaning the Pressure Regular Knob

ALWAYS check that the pressure regulator knob and the pressure safety valves are in good working order before each use.

1.	After the unit has cooled, remove the lid.
2.	Press down and at the same time turn the pressure regulator knob
	counterclockwise past the STEAM setting and carefully lift to remove. Look
	through the holes to make sure there is no particle build up, and put it under
3.	running water.
	Turn the lid over an d place on a ta ble top. Pull out the anti-locking case.
	Using a brush or toothpick, check and remove any food or foreign particles
	that may be lodged in the floating valve. Replace the anti-locking case by
4.	pressing down.
	Replace the pr essure regulator knob by lining the two notches up to the
	inside wall of the pressure regulator chamber in the lid and turning clock-
	wise. The white button on the lid should line up with the pressure or steam
	setting on the pressure regulator knob. If it doesn’t, remove the knob again
	and try realigning the notches the other way around.
