5.4 Reducing Pressure
There are two primary methods to release pressure:
- Pelepasan Alami: Remove the pressure cooker from the heat source and allow it to cool down naturally. The pressure indicator will drop, and the lid will unlock when all pressure has been released. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from continued cooking, such as stews and roasts.
- Pelepasan Cepat (Metode Air Dingin): For faster depressurization, carefully place the pressure cooker under a cold water tap, allowing water to run over the lid (avoiding the pressure regulator valve). Continue until the pressure indicator drops and the lid unlocks. This method is suitable for delicate foods like vegetables.
5.5 Opening the Lid
Once all pressure has been released and the lid is unlocked, carefully open the lid away from your face to avoid residual steam. Always ensure the pressure indicator has dropped before attempting to open.
6. Perawatan dan Pembersihan
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and safe operation of your Monix Classica pressure cooker.
6.1 Setelah Setiap Penggunaan
- Allow the cooker to cool completely.
- Wash the cooker body and lid with warm, soapy water. A non-abrasive sponge or cloth is recommended.
- Remove the gasket from the lid and wash it separately. Ensure it is clean and free of food particles.
- Clean the pressure regulator valve and safety valve openings to ensure they are not clogged. Use a small brush if necessary.
- Rinse all parts thoroughly and dry completely to prevent water spots and corrosion.
6.2 Penyimpanan
Store the pressure cooker with the lid inverted or slightly ajar to allow air circulation and prevent odors. Store the gasket separately or loosely in the lid to prolong its life.
6.3 Penggantian Gasket
The gasket is a wear-and-tear item and should be replaced periodically (typically every 1-2 years, or if it shows signs of cracking, hardening, or leakage). Use only genuine Monix replacement gaskets.
