REMOVING LID AFTER PRESSURE COOKING
When the pressure cooking cycle has completed, the unit will automatically switch to
keep Warm. At this point you may release pressure in one of two ways - Natural Pressure
Release or Quick Pressure Release.
1. Natural Release: Following pressure cooking, allow the unit to remain on keep Warm.
The pressure will begin to drop - time for pressure to drop depends on the amount of
liquid in the cooker and the length of time that pressure was maintained. Natural Release
can take from 15 to 30 minutes.
During this time cooking continues so it is recommended for
certain cuts of meats, soups, rice, and some desserts. When
pressure has fully released, the Float Valve (4) will drop (Figure
16) and the lid will unlock to open. As a safety feature, the lid
will not open unless all pressure is released. Do not force the lid
open. If the lid feels tight, please allow additional time for
pressure to fully release before attempting to open the lid.
