HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER
Your Electric Pressure Cooker is made of mirror
finished food grade stainless steel and it retains its
lustre forever.
To keep your cooker always looking new, please fol-
low the instructions given below:
1) a) Avoid leaving foodstuff in the body overnight
as it may cause difficulty in cleaning.
b) After each use, wash it with hot soapy water
,
rinse and dry thoroughly.
c) If the water you use in the cooker is har
d water,
then a salt deposit will form in the base after
cooking. Scrub this using a nylon scrubber.
d) For stubborn stains it is recommended that you
use a nylon scrubber.
e) If the cooker body has burnt food r
esidue stuck
on it, leave a strong solution of non-alkaline
detergent powder in the cooker body overnight.
2. Pressure Regulator
To clean the pressure regulator, occasionally soak it in
soap water. However, clear out all traces of soap before
reuse.
3. Gasket
After cooking, remove the gasket from the lid. Wash
and allow to dry till next use. If after considerable use,
the rubber gasket leaks, lightly str
etch the gasket
diagonally to extend its life. The r
ubber gasket can also
be immersed in a basin of cold water to extend its life.
After 9 to 12 months use or if the appliance is not used
for a period of time, the gasket can har
den and this
will prevent the appliance from sealing properly. Then
the gasket must be replaced with a new one.
4. Storing
Always put the cooker away after drying it thoroughly.
Do not store the cooker in a sealed or closed condition.
