USING YOUR FOODI™ COMPACT
TENDERCRISP™ PRESSURE COOKER – CONT.
NATURAL PRESSURE RELEASE
VS. QUICK PRESSURE RELEASE
Natural Pressure Release: Once pressure
cooking is complete, the pressure will start
to naturally decrease as the unit cools
down. This can take up to 20 minutes or
more, depending on the amount of liquid
and food in the pot. During this time, the
unit will switch to Keep Warm mode. Press
the KEEP WARM button if you would like
to turn Keep Warm mode o. When natural
pressure release is complete, the float valve
will drop down.
Quick Pressure Release: Use ONLY if your
recipe calls for it. Whe pressure cooking
is complete and the KEEP WARM light is
on, turn the pressure release valve to the
VENT position to instantly release pressure
through the valve.
Even after releasing pressure naturally or
using the pressure release valve, some
steam will remain in the unit and will
escape when the lid is opened. Lift and
tilt it away from you, making sure no
condensation drips into the cooker base.
NOTE: At any time during the natural
release process, you can switch to quick
release by turning the pressure release
valve to the VENT position.
PRESSURIZING
As pressure builds in the unit, the
control panel will display rotating lights.
Pressurizing time varies, depending on the
amount of ingredients and liquid in the
pot. As the unit pressurizes, the lid will lock
as a safety measure, and it will not unlock
until pressure is released. Once the unit has
reached full pressure. The pressure cooking
cycle will begin and the timer will start
counting down.
