cleaners.

• The sealing ring should be dried flat and refitted to the lid for storage.
• Do not use metal scourers or steel wool as these will scratch the surface of the cooker.
WARNINGS
• Only use original parts.
• No additional weights to be placed on the pressure regulator, or vents deliberately blocked.
• Never place an empty pressure cooker on to a heat source.
• If any safety valve emits steam, this means the regulator is blocked, turn off heat source, allow to cool and check for blockages.

• Always take care moving a hot pressure cooker.
• Check handles regularly and tighten screws if necessary.
• If any part of the pressure cooker is damaged stop using and return to your authorised repair agent for repair or replacement.
