4. Setup and First Use

3. Inspection: Inspect the pot for any dents or damage. Do not use if damaged.

5. Operating Instructions

Using the ZoneFly replacement inner pot is straightforward, as it functions identically to your original pressure cooker inner pot.

1. Placement: Ensure the inner pot is correctly seated within the pressure cooker's outer housing. It should sit flat and stable.
2. Filling: Add your ingredients and liquids to the inner pot according to your recipe and the pressure cooker's maximum fill lines.
3. Sealing: Close the pressure cooker lid securely. Ensure the sealing ring is properly positioned and the lid forms a tight seal. Even a 1-3mm height difference in the inner pot can be accommodated by the elasticity of the pressure cooker's sealing ring, allowing for normal operation.
4. Cooking: Operate your pressure cooker as per its original instruction manual.

Proper care and cleaning will extend the life of your stainless steel inner pot.

6.1. Daily Cleaning
