Pressure Cooking
Release the pressure using one of the following methods (refer to recipe):
Natural Release: Allow the cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve drops down.
This may take 10 to 40 minutes, or even more, depending on the amount of food in the
cooker. Place a wet towel on the lid to speed up cooling. After cooking is finished, turn
OFF Keep Warm mode if it is turned ON.
Quick Release: Turn the steam release handle to the Venting position to let steam out
until the float valve drops down. Never pull out the steam release handle while releasing
steam as escaping steam is extremely hot and can cause scalds. For food with large liquid
volume or starch content, use Natural Release instead as thick liquid may splatter out.
Press Cancel . The LCD displays OFF , indicating that the cooker is in standby mode.
Open the lid. Make sure the float valve is down before opening the lid.
