Care & Maintenance

General Care & Cleaning

• • Cooling: Let the cooker cool naturally; never plunge a hot pot into cold water.
  • Scrubbing: Use soft sponges or nylon pads; strictly avoid steel wool.
  • Soap: Use mild liquid dish soap; avoid bleach or chlorine-based cleaners.
  • Drying: Wipe dry immediately with a soft cloth after washing.

Component-Specific Maintenance

• • Gasket: Wash after every use to remove spice odours and replace in every 12 months, or sooner if cracked or leaking.
  • Vent Tube: Inspect before every session to ensure it is clear. Use a toothpick or wire to dislodge food or mineral buildup.
  • Safety Valve: Regularly check that the valve moves freely. Replace immediately with genuine parts if it feels stuck or looks corroded.
  • Handles: Periodically check the handle screws. Tighten with a screwdriver to prevent slips while carrying hot food.

Stain Removal & Storage

• • Rainbow Stains: Rub the surface with white vinegar or a lemon slice.
  • Calcium Spots: Boil a solution of 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water for 5 minutes.
  • Burnt Food: Simmer water and 2 tablespoons of baking soda for 10–15 minutes.
  • Storage: Store with the lid upside down (inverted) and unlocked.

Critical Safety Red Flags

• • Don't Force the Lid: If the lid feels stuck, wait for the pressure to drop or the unit to cool completely.
  • Never "Dry Heat": Never heat an empty cooker, as it can damage the tri-ply base and melt safety valves.
  • No Deep Frying: Never use a large amount of oil under pressure; it is extremely dangerous and can cause severe burns.
  • Do Not Overfill: Leaving insufficient space for steam is the primary cause of safety valves blowing.
  • Stop if Leaking: If steam escapes from the sides, stop cooking and check the gasket.
  • Avoid Steel Wool: Harsh abrasives can scratch the mirror finish; use a soft sponge or nylon scrubber instead.
  • Avoid Thermal Shock: Let the cooker cool naturally before washing; never plunge a hot pot into cold water.
