It is imperative to have your pressure cooker checked by an authorised service centre after 10 years of use.
WASH THE POT:
• After each use, wash the pot, the basket and the seal with water and washing-up liquid. Do not use bleach or chlorinated products.
WASH THE LID (*according to the pressure cooker):
• Wash your lid and gasket with a sponge and washing-up liquid separately.
• Dry them and reposition the gasket in the lid.
• Caution: Never run your timer underwater if you have one.
WASH THE LID AND MODULE* (*according to the pressure cooker):
• After each use, it is advisable to remove the control module to wash it.
• Turn the lid over and use a coin to unscrew the fixing nut of your module.
• Wash your module and lid with a sponge and washing-up liquid.
• Caution: never run your timer under water.
• Refasten the module on the lid, make sure that the position switch is aligned with the "open pressure cooker" pictogram and that the jaws are pressed against the lid. Turn the assembly over and tighten the nut.
DISHWASHER:
Depending on your model, the number of parts going into the dishwasher will be different.
For some models, only the pot is dishwasher safe.
For other models, only the pot and lid without the module will be dishwasher safe.
For the ClipsoMinut' Duo model, none of the parts are dishwasher-safe.
Note: No gasket, timer or module is dishwasher safe.
CHECK THE SECURITY DEVICES:
1) If you have a product with a removable module:
When you clean the module, take the opportunity to check that your security devices are not obstructed.
• Steam release outlet: check visually against light that the outlet is not obstructed. If it is, run it under water.
• Check that the operating valve is movable by selecting the "vegetables" pictogram and pressing it.
• Safety valve: press strongly with a cotton bud on the central part of the pipe which must be mobile.
• The gasket: after each cooking operation, clean the gasket and its slot with a sponge and washing-up liquid. Replace it well in its slot.
2) For other products:
• Operating valve: remove the valve, clean it under tap water.
• Steam release outlet: check visually against light that the pipe is not obstructed. If it is, run it under water.
• Safety valve: Press the valve lightly which should move easily.
• The gasket: clean the gasket with a sponge and washing-up liquid after each cooking operation. Place it back properly in its slot.
If you have a conventional pressure cooker, gently clean the visible part of the seal and the edge of the pot.
