The rubber ring is removed and will be cleaned separately, do not clean the lid of the pot but leave the rubber ring on.

Other cleaning notes

Some pressure cookers are recommended by manufacturers to remove the pressure valve from the pot and clean it after each use. Therefore, you should review the manuals of your home pressure cooker before cleaning.

Do not submerge the pressure cooker lid in water, this may damage the pressure valves. Do not wash the pressure cookers in the dishwasher because food residues and dishwashing liquid can get into the valves, causing them to clog.

When not using the pot for a long time, you should not lock the lid of the pressure cooker because you may damage the rubber ring, or you will not be able to open the lid because the cooker is closed after a while. The space will get wet in the rubber ring, causing it to deform and make the lid of the pot stick to the pressure cooker.
