you must joggle the cooker gently before opening the
lid in order to prevent the food from spattering.
• Do not manipulate the safety systems except
during the maintenance procedure indicated in this
manual.
• Only use genuine spare parts for the particular mo-
del . It is especially necessary to use the body and
lid of the same manufacturer and check that they are
compatible. Contact a point of sale or the After Sale
Service to obtain genuine spare parts.
Cleaning
- After every time you use it, clean the equipment
with a damp cloth with a few drops of washing-up
liquid and then dry.
- Rinse the cooker with clean water and dry it with
a clean cloth.
- In order to protect the shine on the cooker, do not
use abrasive washing-up liquid or a metal scourer.
- Do not use solvents, or products with an acid or
base pH such as bleach, or abrasive products, for
cleaning the appliance.
To avoid electro-chemical corrosion, prevent the
cooker from coming into contact with other metals.
- The cooker should be stored without being closed
so that the silicon joint is open to the air and can dry
completely.
- If some food remains stuck to the surface, it is
advisable to leave the appliance to soak for a certain
time and then remove the traces with a cloth.
- The use of a dishwashing machine is not recom-
mended, especially in the case of the lid.
Cleaning the silicon lid joint
- Remove the silicon lid joint and clean with hot
water.
Dry the silicon joint with a cloth and keep it dry
before carefully returning it to its normal position.

Cleaning the pressure and pressure release
selector valve.
- After each use, press and turn the pressure selec-
tor in a clockwise direction to the position " ", when it
will separate from the base of the valve.
- Clean the pressure and pressure release selector
valve with hot water.
- Return the pressure and pressure release selector
valve to its normal position.
Pressure release selector valve, air release pipe
and safety valve:
- Clean the pressure release selector valve, air relea-
se pipe and safety valve in order to guarantee that
the pressure cooker functions normally (Fig.13)

move any accumulated dirt and if necessary remove
the dirt from the air release pipe with a needle.
Turn the safety valve in a clockwise direction using a
nut wrench. Then remove and clean it.
Recommendation: To prevent malfunctioning, do
not dismantle the parts of the safety valve.
4. Removing burnt food
• Remove burnt food using a wooden scraper.
• Firmly stuck food remains should be dried in the
Sun and left to soak in oil. Next fill the pan with hot
water and leave it for a time. Then you can clean the
pan. To avoid scratching the body, do not remove
firmly stuck foods with sharp tools such as a knife.
5. Care
The pan, lid and joint must be cleaned after every
use.
Remove the dirt from the pressure release selector
valve, air release pipe and safety valve with a needle
and store the cooker in a cool, well-ventilated place.
The lid should be stored upside-down on top of the
body or separately.
CAUTION:
• Do not use abrasive washing-up detergent.
• Do not wash the lid in a dishwasher.
• So that the lid may be easy to open and close,
grease the O-ring with a little cooking oil. This
will also prolong the life of the joint.
• While stored, the pressure cooker must not
be closed, in order to prevent the joint from
becoming misshapen and to enable it to function
correctly.
• Allow frozen foods to thaw before cooking
them. Pre-soak pulses and dried fruit.
• Start cooking foods which form a foam without
the lid and once the foam has been eliminated,
with the lid closed.
• Little water is needed for cooking with a pres-
sure cooker, since only a small quantity of water
is lost if foods are not cooked for a long time.
• The high pressure and the steam make foods
lose colour. You can use coloured spices to give
the food a better, more appetising appearance.
• Lower the focus of heat if soup spills out.
6. Replacing the joint
The discolouring of the joint does not cause any pro-
blems. Depending on how often you use the cooker,
the joint should be replaced every one or two years.
If you detect damage, breakages or deformations,
replace the joint immediately. Caution: Only use ge-
nuine spare parts. If you cannot find genuine spare
parts to repair the cooker, contact your supplier.
