Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning the Pot and Basket: The 7.5L cooking pot and 4.7L Cook and Crisp basket are non-stick and dishwasher-safe, making cleanup straightforward. For hand washing, use a soft sponge and mild dish soap.
- Sealing Ring: Regularly inspect the silicone sealing ring inside the pressure lid for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. A damaged sealing ring can affect pressure building and safety. Remove and wash it after each pressure cooking session to prevent odor retention. Ensure it is properly seated before each use.
- Lids: Both the pressure lid and the crisper lid should be wiped clean after each use. The pressure lid can be rinsed, ensuring the pressure release valve is clear. The crisper lid can be wiped with a damp cloth.
- Exterior: Wipe the main unit's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Never immerse the main unit in water.
- Storage: Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Store the multi-cooker in a safe place where it won't be easily damaged.
