CLEANING AND STORAGE
Clean the pressure cooker using normal detergents; avoid abrasive cleaning agents and sharp
objects. The pressure cooker can be cleaned using special agents for stainless steel cookware–for
excellent cleaning results, we recommend Cleaner for stainless steel cookware Profi MATE 500 ml,
Aloe Vera (code 903131). Do not store the pressure cooker with the lid on.
Cleaning the silicone operating valve
If the silicone operating valve is clogged, remove it from the pressure cooker lid, clean under running
water and set the cleaned valve back into place (10).
Cleaning the lid
Clean the lid of the pressure cooker under running water. Do not wash it in dishwasher.
Cleaning the vessel
The vessel of the pressure cooker is dishwasher safe. Leave an excessively dirty vessel to soak in
water or water with detergent before cleaning.
Notice: If cooking in the vessel without the lid on, always add salt only after the water has started
boiling. Adding salt to cold water can cause a high concentration of table salt at the bottom of the
vessel, which results in the occurrence of light stains called pitting corrosion. These light stains on
the bottom of the vessel do not aff ect functioning of the product and are not hazardous to health.
As such they do not represent a fault and cannot be claimed.
Should white sediments or iridescent colouration appear on the inside of the vessel, use vinegar,
drops of lemon or a special cleaning agent for stainless steel to clean the spots. These are sediments,
the formation of which depends on the chemical composition of the water being used. In the
dishwasher, make sure that the stainless steel cookware is not in contact with other metal kitchen
utensils to avoid rusty or light stains, called contact corrosion, on the surface of the cookware. Open
the door of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the washing cycle and remove the
cookware. Corrosion can also be transferred to the cookware in water from some other product;
we therefore recommend limiting or eliminating dishwashing in order to preserve the perfect
appearance of the pressure cooker vessel.
