Venting Methods
Natural Release (NR)
Leave the steam release in the “ Seal ” position. The cooker dissipates
heat so pressure releases naturally over time.
This method must be used when cooking food such as soups, stews
or chilis, as well as food that expands, such as beans and grains.
Note: Depressurisation time varies based upon volume of food
and liquid. May take 10-40 minutes, or longer.
Quick Release (QR)
Vent: Press quick release button down until it clicks.
When depressed, a continuous stream of steam is released
through the steam release valve until the float valve drops into the lid.
Note: It will be loud!
If spatter occurs, turn quick release button to reset it to the “ Seal ” position, and try again after
a few minutes. If spatter continues, use NR to vent remaining pressure.
WARNING
Do not lean
over the steam
release valve.
Do not place unprotected
skin over the steam
release assembly.
Do not cover
the steam
release valve.
The float valve drops when the cooker has
depressurised. Do not attempt to open the
lid while the float valve is still popped up.
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to injury or damage.
