Cook's Essentials 5 Qt Pressure Cooker Gasket question

Hi I was curious, am using the Cooks Essentials 5 quart pressure cooker and so far I have made really great tasting bean soups, and pulled bbq chicken.  Does anyone know if the gasket has to be put in a certain way as I noticed one side has some small half oval cuts into the edge and the other side is smooth.  After I cleaned the lid and the gasket I could not remember if it needed to be put back a certain way or does it matter as long as the gasket is secure inside the lid?  Thanks in advance!

Never take mine out, period. Won't get stretched that way. Won't hurt it .
