Pressure release
• You can release pressure in two ways.
1. Automatic pressure release: When the appliance is in Keep
Warm, pressure will drop slowly. This will take between 12 and
30 minutes. Please bear in mind that during this time, cooking
will continue. You can switch to quick pressure release at any
time.
2. Quick pressure release: At any time you can immediately release
the pressure by using the pressure limit valve. To do so, turn the
pressure limit valve so that the steam symbol on the top of the
valve is aligned with the raised line on the chimney of the
pressure limit valve
- fig. 15
. Steam will immediately start to be
released.
• Hot steam will be released upwards. When releasing pressure, keep
your hands and face away from hot steam ejected from the
pressure limit valve.
• As the pressure limit valve may be hot, we recommend using a
kitchen utensil like tongs or a wooden spoon or using gloves for
protection to turn the valve.
On completion of cooking

• Clean the housing with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the appliance in water or pour
water into the housing.

dishwasher. After drying it, place it back in its original position

to clean the pot as this can damage the non stick coating.

support cover from the lid by grasping the knob on the support cover. Seperate the sealing
gasket from the cover and wash seperately. These are not dishwasher safe. Once clean,
