4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The smooth functioning of the valves is essential for the operability of your pressure cooker.
Therefore, please check that the valves are clean and move smoothly BEFORE EACH USE
AND ALSO AFTER EXTENDED STORAGE PERIODS.
4.1 Removing the plastic cover
In order to check and clean the regulating valve, the black
plastic cover first has to be removed from the lid.
First set the regulating valve to level II, making it easier to lift
the cover over the turning knob of the regulating valve.
The plastic cover is clipped onto the edge of the stainless steel
lid and open/close system by "brackets". In order to release
the the plastic cover, grasp two opposite corners with fingers
of your right and left hand (see illustration 8) and pull them
upwards while pressing against the grey open/close system.
4.2 Removing and replacing the regulating valve
Use your thumb to press and release the selector clamps like
in illustration 9. Using your free hand, you can now pull
upward on the selector knob.
Clean all pieces and check if the "Pivot" of the pressure
selector valve is not obstructed by foodstuffs.
After cleaning put back on place all the pieces and please note
that the "came" must be kept aligned in the valve holder by a
large and small ridge. (see illustration 10)
Afterwards, push the selector back into place from the top,
ensuring that the indicator flag points towards the centre of
the lid. Make sure that the selector is securely held by
brackets.
Place the plastic cover back on cover by centring with the
open/closing grey system and push down till "brackets" clip
back onto the pressure cover.

laissant ‰chapper la vapeur d'eau superflue par la soupape de r‰glage. Le degr‰ de cuisson
