Method 1 – naTURal Release:
Carefully remove the pressure cooker from the hot cook top and allow it to cool
naturally. Depending on the volume of food and liquid in the pressure cooker, this
takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Once the pressure is released, the Pressure Indicator is down, and the Pressure
Valve is no longer emitting steam, the lid is ready to be removed.
Press the One Button Unlock to release the lid from the base. Lift the lid, being
careful to direct any residual heat and steam away from your face.
Method 2 – QUICK Release:
To automatically release pressure from the pressure cooker, turn the Pressure Valve
slowly and incrementally to the release position. Steam will loudly escape from the
pressure cooker through the valve, so be careful to keep your hands away from the
top of the valve, or use an oven mitt for protection.
Once the steam is completely released, the Pressure Indicator is down, and the
Pressure Valve is no longer emitting steam, the lid is ready to be removed.
Press the One Button Unlock to release the lid from the base. Lift the lid being
careful to direct any residual heat and steam away from your face.
Some residual heat and steam may be released when opening the pressure cooker.
Prevent potential burns by protecting your hands with oven mitts and using the lid as
a shield to direct the steam away from your face and hands. If the lid is adhering to
the base and won’t come off easily, it is a sign there may still be pressure built up
inside. Do not force it open. Allow more time for the unit to cool before attempting
to remove the lid.
