NOTE:
If the pressure release valve
is not manually moved to the
‘venting’ position when cooking
is finished, the steam will vent
slowly out of the pressure release
valve automatically. This ‘slow
release’ method is recommended
for recipes containing larger
quantities of liquid such as soups
and casseroles to prevent liquid
being forced out with the steam.
Alternatively, using a heat proof
spatula, move the pressure
release valve from the ‘Sealing’ to
the ‘Venting’ position and allow
the pressure to ‘fast release’.

barley and other cereals, root
vegetables on their own, noodles
and pasta, and rhubarb; as these
foods can foam, froth, splatter
and clog the pressure release
valve and lid lock actuator.
NOTE:
Do not exceed ‘MAX’ fill
level in the removable cooking
bowl as some foods expand
during pressure cooking such as
rice and legumes.
