Overview of Pressure Control Features
Steam Release Valve
The steam release valve sits loosely on the steam
release pipe. When the cooker releases pressure,
steam ejects from the top of the steam release valve.
The steam release valve is integral to product safety
and necessary for pressure cooking. It must be
installed before use and cleaned regularly.
Remove the Steam Release Valve
Pull steam release valve up and off steam release pipe.
The steam release valve must be installed before using
the cooker. It should only be removed for cleaning,
but should be cleaned frequently.
Install the Steam Release Valve
Place the steam release valve on the steam release pipe and press down firmly.
The steam release valve sits loosely on the steam release pipe when installed
properly but should remain in place when the lid is turned over.
WARNING
Do not cover or block the steam release valve.

Anti-Block Shield
The anti-block shield prevents food particles from coming up through the steam
release pipe, assisting with pressure regulation.
As an integral part of product safety, the anti-block shield must be installed before
use and cleaned frequently.
Remove the Anti-Block Shield
Grip the lid like a steering wheel and use your thumbs to press firmly against the
side of the anti-block shield (pressing towards the side of the lid and up) until it
pops off the prongs underneath.
Install the Anti-Block Shield
Place anti-block shield over prongs and press down until it snaps into position.
Do not attempt to operate the pressure cooker without the anti-block shield
installed.
