The outside of the unit and stainless steel surface on the pressure lid will get hot during cooking, but the control panel, exterior handles, and handles on the pressure and crisping lids will remain safe to touch at any time during cooking.

Follow these steps to clean the unit thoroughly after every use:
1.) Unplug the unit from the wall socket before cleaning.
2.) To clean the cooker base and control panel, wipe them with a damp cloth. NEVER put the cooker base in the dishwasher or immerse it in water or any other liquid.
3.) The pressure lid and all its components, cooking pot, silicone ring, Deluxe Reversible Rack, Cook & Crisp™ Basket, and detachable diffuser can be washed in the dishwasher. DO NOT take apart the pressure release valve or float valve assembly.
4.) To clean the crisping lid, wipe it down with a wet cloth or paper towel after the heat shield cools.
5.) If food residue is stuck on the cooking pot, reversible rack, or Cook & Crisp Basket, fill the sink with warm, soapy water and allow to soak before cleaning. DO NOT use scouring pads. If scrubbing is necessary, use a non‐abrasive cleanser or liquid dish soap with a nylon pad or brush.
