Cleaning and Maintenance
Do not wash any parts of the Multi-cooker in the dishwasher except for the
removable cooking pot. Always wash the removable cooking pot thoroughly after
every use, or if it has not been used for an extended period of time.
1. Unplug the Multi-cooker and let the unit cool before cleaning.
2. Remove the removable cooking pot and wash with warm soapy water or
in the dishwasher. Hand washing is always recommended. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
3. Wipe the outer housing with a clean damp cloth. Do not submerge the Multi-
cooker in water.
4. Remove the condensation reservoir by pulling it down. Wash with warm,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace by pushing it back into place.
5. Turn the lid upside down; grip the silicone 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 is positioned around
the metal ring on the inside edge of the lid.
NOTE: The silicone gasket must always be properly positioned 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 "Getting Started" section in this
manual.)
6. If the silicone gasket appears damaged, cracked or torn, do not use the unit
and contact Fagor Customer Service Department at 1-800-207-0806 or visit
the Fagor website to purchase a new silicone gasket at www.fagoramerica.
com.
7. For optimal performance, the bottom of the cooker, in the area 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.
