Operating Instructions
REMOVING THE LID AFTER PRESSURE COOKING
When the pressure cooking cycle has completed, the unit will automatically
switch to Keep Warm. At this point you may release pressure in one of two ways -
Natural Pressure Release or Quick Pressure Release.
Natural Release: After pressure cooking, allow the unit to remain on Keep Warm.
The pressure will begin to drop – the time it takes for pressure to drop depends
on the amount of liquid in the cooker and the length of time that pressure was
maintained. Natural Release can take 15 to 30 minutes.
During this time cooking continues so it is
recommended for certain cuts of meats, soups, rice,
and some desserts. When pressure has fully released,
the Float Valve (4) will drop and the lid will unlock to
open. As a safety feature, the lid will not open unless
all pressure is released. Do not force the lid open. If
the lid feels tight, please allow additional time for the
pressure to fully release before attempting to open
the lid.
Quick Release (recommended for foods that should be Medium or Medium-Rare):
Following pressure cooking the cooker will beep 3 times and go to keep Warm.
Press the keep Warm/Cancel button and the display will show “00 00.” Carefully
turn the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) to the “Venting” position to release pressure
until the Float Valve (4) drops.
NOTE: You cannot adjust the Pressure Limiting Valve to the “Venting” position
immediately after cooking, when using functions such as porridge or soup. It is
IMPORTANT that the Float Valve (5) sinks before you try to open the lid.
CAUTION HOT STEAM – RISK OF SCALDING: USE TONGS OR A LONG
UTENSIL TO TURN THE PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE.
KEEP HANDS AND FACE AWAY FROM PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE (3)
