Using Your Pressure Cooker
Note: For best results, always check
that the pressure release valve, the
diffuser and the sealing gasket are in
good working condition. Visually inspect
the sealing gasket for any defects such
as cracks, punctures or tears. Also check
that there are no particles blocking the
pressure release valve or the diffuser
openings on the underside of the cover.
If you find any defects in the sealing
gasket, do not use the pressure cooker.
For a replacement sealing gasket, call
customer service at 1 (800) 798-7398.
