STORAGE, MAINTENANCE and CLEANING
Lid
DO NOT WASH THE LID OF THE PRESSURE COOKER IN A DISHWASHER!
Clean the operating valve aperture by flushing it with running water; if excessively
soiled, clean it using a suitable metal tool such as a thin skewer (Fig. B).
Clean the safety valve by repeatedly pushing it under running water. Do not disas-
semble the operating valve, the safety valve, the handles or any other parts of the
lid.
STORE THE PRESSURE COOKER WITH THE LID UNATTACHED.
Vessel
The vessel of the pressure cooker is dishwasher safe.
Should white stains due to scale formation appear inside the pressure cooker, use
vinegar, lemon drops or the special stainless steel cleaning agent CLINOX to clean
them. The white stains do not affect functioning of the cookware and are not hazar-
dous to health. As such they do not represent a fault and cannot be claimed. When
the cooker is overheated, purple to brown stains might appear on the surface.
These stains do not affect correct functioning of the cookware and are not hazardous
to health. As such they do not represent a fault and cannot be claimed.
Never expose the pressure cooker vessel to detergents including water-soluble
detergents for prolonged periods of time. Do not store remaining foods inside
the vessel.
Silicone seal
The pressure cooker seal is made of excellent silicone that lasts for about 500 hours
of operation. Remove the seal from the lid after each use of the pressure cooker,
wash it and dry, lightly smear with cooking oil or fat and insert back.
If the seal shows any signs of leakage or loss of flexibility, it must be immediately
replaced with a new Tescoma brand seal.
If you are not constantly using the pressure cooker, replace the seal regularly at
two-year intervals.
ALWAYS USE TESCOMA SPARE PARTS.
