Care & Cleaning
The cooker bowl, outer body, lid and accessories
should be thoroughly cleaned before every use.
Before cleaning, ensure the cooker is turned off
by pressing and holding the STOP / CANCEL
button on the control panel. The cooker is off when
the button backlight is no longer illuminated.
Remove the power plug from the power outlet
and remove the connector end of the power
cord from the cooker base. Allow the cooker
and all accessories to cool completely before
disassembling and cleaning.
CLEANING THE BOWL AND
OUTER BODY
1. The removable cooking bowl can be washed
in the dishwasher. However, to maintain the
ceramic coating, it is recommended to wash
the cooking bowl in warm soapy water using
a mild household detergent. Rinse with clean
water and dry thoroughly.
2. Wipe the moat and outer body with a soft,
damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser
or mild spray solution may be used to
avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser
to the sponge, not the cooker surface,
before cleaning.
3. Remove condensation drip cup by gently
pulling the bottom away from the body. Wash
in warm soapy water, rinse with clean water,
dry thoroughly and click back into position.
4. Wipe the LCD screen with a soft damp cloth.
Cleaning with dry cloth or abrasive cleaners
may scratch the surface.
5. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting
the power plug into a power outlet and turning
the cooker on.
CLEANING THE LID
1. Remove the pressure release valve from
the lid.
2. Open the lid by turning the lid knob counter
clockwise and lifting lid up and off the
appliance until it is in the hinged open position.
Unscrew and remove the sealing nut from the
centre of the lid and pull the lid away to remove
from the lid arm.
3. Gently pull the silicone lid seal out from around
the wire ring on the underside of the lid.
4. Wash the sealing nut and pressure release
valve in warm soapy water. Rinse with clean
water and dry thoroughly.
5. Wash the silicone lid seal and the lid on the
top rack of the dishwasher. Alternatively,
wash in warm soapy water, rinse with
clean water and dry thoroughly.
6. After cleaning the lid, regularly inspect
and ensure;
a) Safety locking pin moves up and down
freely. Always remove any oil or food
residue left on this area.
b) Pressure release valve and cover are
clean and free of food or liquid. To clean,
twist and pull the pressure release valve
cover off the lid, wipe with a soapy cloth,
rinse and dry thoroughly. Clip cover back
into its original position.
c) Pressure safety valve is clean and free
of food or liquid. To clean, push the valve
from inside so the valve sits open on the
lid and remove any oil or food residue.
Ensure the valve moves in and out
smoothly after cleaning.
