What is quick release? To quickly release the pressure, simply press down the
“Pressure Release Button”. The button will stay down and steam will be rapidly
released. When the Floater Valve next to the Pressure Release Valve, as well
as the Pressure Indicator has dropped, indicating pressure has been properly
released, you can then safely open the pressure cooker.
What is natural release? To naturally release the pressure, simply wait for
the Floater Valve and the Pressure Indicator to drop. Doing so will allow the
pressure cooker to naturally release steam as it slowly cools. This allows you
to nish the cooking process as the pressure cooker gradually releases steam.
The natural release method can take up to 35 minutes. If any pressure remains
in the pressure cooker, simply press the “Pressure Release Button” for a
quick release of any remaining pressure and follow the remaining steps for
“quick release.”
Resuming pressure: When you are ready to cook
under pressure, press the “OFF” button. If the “Pressure
Release” button is down, the pressure cannot build up.

Once the Nutri-Pot
®
has nished cooking, the unit beeps to let you know the
current cooking cycle is nished. Then, you will need to release pressure,
either by performing a quick release or a natural release and quick release
combination (allowing the pressure cooker to release pressure naturally rst
and then using a quick release to allow all remaining pressure and steam to
escape before opening).
When performing a natural release it is recommended to unplug the unit. The
time necessary to naturally release pressure can vary depending on the model,
ingredients, and quantity of ingredients used.
The average times for allowing the Nutri-Pot Pressure Cookers to naturally
release pressure are as follows:
For the 6-quart Nutri-Pot: 35 minutes*
For the 8-quart Nutri-Pot: 40 minutes*
For the 10-quart Nutri-Pot: 42 minutes*
For the 13-quart Nutri-Pot: 48 minutes*
* These times can vary depending on the model, ingredients, and quantity of
ingredients used. Always perform a quick release on the Nutri-Pot Pressure
Cooker AFTER performing a natural release.
Quick Release
Pressure Indicator
When the pressure has built up
the Pressure Indicator will pop
up. DO NOT touch Presssure
Indicator as steam may release
at any time.
ALWAYS PERFORM A QUICK RELEASE AFTER THE COMPLETION
OF A NATURAL RELEASE AND DO SO UNTIL ALL STEAM/PRESSURE
IS OUT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN the pressure cooker if there is any
resistance or if the Floater Valve or Pressure Indicator is still up, indicating
that there is still steam/pressure remaining inside the unit. Also, do not
overll the Inner Pot past the maximum ll line, as food expanding while
cooking can clog the Pressure Release Valve resulting in excess pressure
or incorrect pressure readings.
For rice, beans, and grains, do not ll more than half full.
For soups, sauces, and broths do not ll more than ¾ full.
Please refer to the max ll lines in the inner pot.
