Cleaning And Care Instructions For The Duromatic - Kuhn Rikon DUROMATIC Mode D'emploi

11. Cleaning and care instructions
for the DUROMATIC
Under normal circumstances, the valve is self-cleaning. However, if
food particles have passed through the valve, then it is necessary to
take the valve apart in order to clean it. (See section 11.1.1)
Tighten loose handles or grips with a screwdriver. If you have
difficulties, contact your local dealer or a KUHN RIKON Service Center.
(See section 14)
After each use, remove the gasket from the lid. Rinse out and wash
both, the gasket and the lid, taking care to thoroughly clean the area
around the flanges.
The SI valve (secondary safety device) must always be correctly fitted
to the lid when using the pressure cooker (= spring visible on the inside
of the lid). Never remove this valve for cleaning!
Do not wash the pan, lid, protection cap with cooking times, or gasket
in a dishwasher.
Never remove stains or baked-in marks with abrasive means such as
with knives, steel wool or copper cloths. Instead, soak in hot water
with a little detergent until stains can be easily removed with a soft
brush, sponge or cloth.
The printed protection cap in particular should only ever be
cleaned with a damp cloth (never use abrasive cleaners, bleach
or SWISS CLEANER).
Do not use any corrosive agents like Javel water for cleaning.
Remove obstinate calcium stains (white spots) with a few drops of
vinegar, lemon juice or SWISS CLEANER. (See section 17)
If the pan has become discoloured from overheating, then we
recommend the use of SWISS CLEANER.
