Proper cleaning and maintenance ensure the longevity and safe operation of your WMF Perfect Plus Pressure Cooker.

• טעגלעך רייניקונג: After each use, allow the pot and lid to cool. Detach the lid handle for thorough cleaning.
• דישוואַשער זיכער: The pots and the lid (with the handle removed) are dishwasher safe. For best results and to prolong the life of the gasket, hand washing is recommended for the lid components.
• Lid Handle Cleaning: The removable handle can be rinsed under running water. Ensure all internal mechanisms are free from food debris.
