Care, Cleaning and Storage continued
NOTE: During cleaning of the safety locking lid, ensure that the pressure indicator rod moves freely (up and down). Wash and clean any oil or food residue from this area.
c. Regularly inspect that the pressure regulator/release valve cover is clean and free of liquid/food. Remove the pressure regulator/release valve cover from the safety locking lid, by twisting and lifting up and off the safety locking lid and wipe over with a soapy cloth and dry thoroughly. Replace by twisting it back into place. (see Fig. 11).

d. The pressure safety valve will need to be regularly checked and cleaned in order to avoid any clogging which could result in blocking the safety valve. (see Fig. 12).
To clean the pressure safety valve, push the valve from inside the lid in and out with a long thin object (e.g. skewer). Wash and clean any oil or food residue. Ensure that the valve moves in and out smoothly after cleaning.
