Pressure Indicator valve
When the internal pressure rises sufficiently the indicator valve will rise slightly showing a WHITE line to
indicate that the correct pressure has been reached. Should a RED line be visible lower the heat
immediately. If the RED indicator remains switch off cooker as it has overheated. Allow to cool and lower
the temperature of the heat setting used.

Pressure Release
There are 3 methods of releasing the pressure from within the cooker.
1. Natural. Simply allow the cooker to cool and wait. This method takes a long time (20 minutes) so do
not use for certain foods especially those cooked over a very short time
2. Open the pressure control system to
STEAM RELEASE
position carefully.
Steam will be expelled.
Warning!
Ensure that you are not above or near the vent as hot steam will be expelled. Danger of
burns. Use oven mittens or similar.
3. Cold Water release. Carefully run cold water over the sides of the cooker until the pressure indicator
has fully returned to base position. Do not run cold water over the lid. Release any remaining steam by
method 2 above.
