2) Cooling down quickly. If you need it cooled down quickly, put the cooker on
a level place and slowly shower the cooker with cold water till the pressure-lim-
iting valve falls (Fig.9, opening the lid is the same as above). Avoid water flow-
ing into the cooker through the pressure-limiting valve.
If any abnormal phenomenon has been found, you should turn off the heat im-
mediately and take the cooker to a level place and shower the cooker with water
slowly to reduce the temperature and the pressure. Find and solve the problem
with the table below:

Problem Reason Solution
Steam comes out from the
underside of the lid.
Sealing ring is dirty. Clean the sealing ring,
cooker edge and lid.
The pressure limiting
valve of inside pipe was
obstructed. The safety
function of the safety valve
is working. The release hole
of pressure-limiting valve is
blocked.
Take the cooker away
from the heat and dredge
the release hole. After
it is cool, take down the
pressure-limiting valve
and clean the hole of
pressure-limiting valve.
The safety function of the
sealing ring is working.
Maybe other device has
lost its function.
Take the cooker away
from the heat. After it is
cool, clean and check
all the safety devices.
Change the ones which
have lost their function.
Change the sealing ring. The sealing ring is aged and
has lost its function.
Sealing ring is too old. Change the sealing ring.
The safety valve has lost its
function.
Change valve.
The shape of the lid
changed.
Change the lid. Lid can’t fix properly.
Steam and liquid leaks
from the safety valve
suddenly.
When cooking, the
sealing ring is suddenly
forced out from the
decompression window
and steam drains out.
1) Natural cooling. When heating time is up, turn off the heat and leave it for a
while, waiting for the pressure to reduce. When the pressure indicator falls, the
cooking is over. Turn the knob and then take off the lid.
5. Turn off heat, release pressure completely and then open the lid.
There are two ways to open after cooking:
• Don’t open the lid if the pressure indicator doesn’t fall.
• After finishing cooking, please wear gloves when opening the lid to
avoid burns.
• Don’t open the lid till the pressure-limiting valve falls.
• When cooking pasty (doughy) food such as porridge, gently shake the
cooker slightly before opening the lid to avoid food ejection.
