When Bobber Valve is in the “UP” position, DO NOT attempt to open
the Lid, as the Cooker is still under pressure. When the Bobber Valve
is in the “DOWN” position, the pressure has released (see Figure 4).

BOBBER VALVE
RELEASING PRESSURE AT THE
END OF COOKING
A.
Natural Pressure Release Method: After cooking cycle is complete, let Cooker
naturally release pressure through the Bobber Valve. Unit will gradually cool
down on its own. Wait at least 10 minutes after cooking has completed, and
then rotate the Steam Release Dial to the “Release” position (see Figure 5).
Do not place any part of your hand or body over the Steam Release Valve, as
steam is very hot and can scald skin. The pressure has been released when
steam is no longer escaping from the valve, the Bobber Valve has dropped
completely, and the Lid opens freely with minimal force. This can take up to 10-
20 minutes. Never force the Lid open.
B. Quick Pressure Release Method: Rotate the Steam Release Dial located
at the front of the Lid to the “Release” position (see Figure 5). Steam will
release rapidly from the Steam Release Valve on the back of the Lid. Do not
place any part of your hand or body on or over the Steam Release Valve, as
steam is very hot and can scald skin.
CAUTION: Never use this method when cooking foods high in liquid content
such as casseroles, beans, stews, stocks and soups. Never use this method
when cooking rice, as rice tends to be very delicate. The pressure has been
released when steam is no longer escaping from the valve, the Bobber Valve has
dropped and the Lid opens freely with minimal force. This can take up to 10-20
minutes. Never force the Lid open.

CAUTION:
1. Do not force the Lid to open. If the Bobber Valve has dropped completely and
the Lid does not open easily, this means that the Cooker is still under pressure.
2. During cooking, steam will build up in the Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a
kitchen glove or mitt to protect your hand.
3. To avoid suction when removing or securing the Lid, turn the Steam Release
Dial to the “Release” position.
