Cleaning and Maintenance

Never wash the cover, valve assemblies, or gasket in the dishwasher. Do
not use abrasive detergents or scouring pads.
1. After each use, thoroughly clean the utensil base, cover, and gasket
(removed from the cover) by washing them in warm soapy water, then rinse
and dry.
2. If the pressure release valve becomes clogged with food particles, follow the
instructions for valve maintenance and cleaning in the following section.
3. If food becomes stuck in the base or cover, soak in hot soapy water until the
food loosens.
4. If the utensil base becomes discolored, we recommend using a cleaner
specially formulated for stainless steel, such as Rena Ware's Rena Lite
Stainless Steel Cleaner.
Valve Maintenance and Cleaning
In normal use, the pressure release valve is self-cleaning. If, however, food
particles have passed through the valve, you will need to disassemble and clean
it as follows:
1. Invert the cover. Hold the knob with one hand and unscrew the screw
attached to the valve stem by turning it in a counter-clockwise direction with
a screwdriver or small coin until the knob comes off the valve stem.
2. Remove the valve cover, pull out the valve stem, and clean the parts in
warm soapy water. Remove any food particles from inside the pressure
release valve.
3. Reassemble the cover. Reinsert the valve stem and replace the valve cover.
Reattach the knob to the valve stem by tightening the screw in a clockwise
direction. Be sure the knob is securely fastened to the valve stem.
Note: It is normal for there to be a gap between the valve cover and the
utensil cover to allow steam to escape.
