Guidance Care & Use
Pressure Cooker
1. Pan without pressure Lid
- The Pan – WITHOUT THE PRESSURE LID – can best be cleaned with a sponge and mild detergent. However it is also dishwasher-proof.
- Never use abrasives or steel wool. This helps prevent scratches on the surface.
- Always dry the cookware thoroughly with a cloth (don’t leave it standing to dry) to avoid stains caused by water drops.
- Should this happen anyway, or if the stainless steel discolours after a while, it suffices to clean it with lemon of vinegar and a soft cloth or sponge every now and then.
- Heavy stains should be removed with a special stainless steel detergent.
2. Pressure lid
- The Pressure lid consists of three parts ( Lid, Sealing Ring and Valve). Please separate these parts before cleaning each part manually by using a gentle detergent.
3. Sealing ring
- The sealing ring is in the lid, please dry it well after cleaning and oil it with some cooking oil.
- Hardened sealing rings that have become brittle don’t seal well enough anymore and therefore need to be replaced.
- In case of regular use, we recommend replacement after approx. six months.
4. Valve
- The Valve should be disassembled and cleaned once a week in order to remove cooking and food residue.
5. Storage
- Never store your pressure cooker with the lid closed.
- Put the lid upside down on the pan so that it can air thoroughly.
6. Regular Check-up
- We recommend regular technical check-up of your “KELOMAT” with our KELOMAT specialists, where you can also buy any spare part.
