drops down.

Quick Release:
Caution:
Pleas keep hands and face away from the hole on the top of the exhaust valve when
using Quick Release. The escaping steam is very hot and can cause scalding.
Never pull out the exhaust valve when it is letting out steam.
Please be aware that Quick Release is not suitable for food in large liquid volume or
with high starch content (e.g. porridge, congee, sticky liquids, soup, etc.). Food content
may splatter out with steam. Use Nature Release instead.
Allow the cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve drops down. This may take
10 to 15 minutes after cooking is finished and the cooker is in Keep-Warm mode.
Putting a wet towel on the lid can speed up cooling.
3. Open the lid: Hold the lid handle, turn the lid counterclockwise to the open position, and
lift the lid up to open.
Caution:
Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely released. As a
safety feature, until the float valve drops down, the lid is locked and cannot be opened.
If the float valve is stuck due to food debris or stickiness, you can push it down with a
pen or chopsticks when you are certain the pressure has been released by pressing
the
team Release key on the lid handle.
