How to Open the Futura
Squeeze the lid handle and body handle together at the end. This requires
the least force.
Difficult

Release the latch.

be used so that the lid does not touch the food inside the cooker.

short handle.

to the position shown and...
Raise lid edge out of cooker body
with a slight twist of wrist of hand

As you move the lid handle, raise
the lid edge out of the cooker body.

angle to the body handle, remove
the lid toward you.
