lid. Release the pressure first.
Opening the Lid
When pressure cooking has come to an end, the cooker will go into Keep Warm mode.
At this point you may choose to open the lid. Therefore, the pressure needs to be
released. This can be done in two ways:
1. Quick pressure release:
Move the Exhaust Valve to the VENT position. Steam will
immediately begin to release through the valve. When pressure is fully released, the
floating valve will sink. The lid will now be unlocked to open.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPENING THE COVER.
SERIOUS BURNS CAN RESULT FROM STEAM INSIDE THE UNIT.
CAUTION: KEEP HANDS AND FACE FROM THE VALVE WHILE
VENTING.
Hot steam escaping from the valve may cause serious injuries if precautions are not
followed. Use pot holders, tongs or other tools to adjust the valve.
2. Natural pressure release
: is recommended when cooking foods that will not have
the tendency to overcook, such as potatoes, beans, soups and stews. When in Keep
Warm mode, the pressure will begin to drop. This will take from 12 to 30 minutes.
During this time cooking continues slightly. When pressure is fully released, the float
valve will sink. The lid will be now unlocked to open.
CAUTION: KEEP HANDS AND FACE FROM THE VALVE WHILE
VENTING.
