11.2 ADDITIONAL CLEANING AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DUROMATIC®
NON-STICK COATING
Apart from the general cleaning and care references in section 11 are following references
to be considered.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or SWISS CLEANER to clean the hard
titanium base non-stick coating.
Wash the coating immediately after use, i.e. when the pan is still warm, with warm water
and washing-up liquid so that no residues become hardened. This also retains the non-stick
effect and prevents any residual oils or fats from being burnt on.
12. TROUBLESHOOTING THE DUROMATIC®
If you are unsure about using your pressure cooker or the safety devices, do not
use it and contact your retailer or KUHN RIKON.(See section 14)
Is the pressure cooker leaking?
»
Check that the rubber gasket is properly located (see section 7);
»
Lubricate the gasket lightly with cooking/vegetable oil or moisten
with a little water;
»
Or, if necessary, replace.
If effort is required to open or close the lid even after the gasket has been lubricated with
a little cooking oil, then the lid or pan may be deformed. The pressure cooker must be
taken to a KUHN RIKON Service Center for inspection.(See section 14)
If the second safety device (SI valve) releases steam while cooking, the main valve is not
functioning. Disassemble, clean and check the main valve. (See section 11)
If the pressure indicator stem does not move freely, then disassemble, clean and check
the main valve. (See section 11)
If this does not solve the problem, please refer to your dealer. (See section 14)
Check:
Blue rubber seal must fit tightly against
the lid, all the way around, on the outside
and inside of the lid.
Lid inside
Spring must be visible on the inside of
the lid.
