1. Make sure the pressure cooking program has completed or press
“Keep-Warm/Cancel” to terminate the cooking process.
2. Release the pressure by one of the following options:
Quick Release:
• Turn the pressure release handle to the "Venting" position to allow the
steam to vent out until the float valve drops down.
Caution:
• It is important to keep hands and face away from the opening on the top
of the pressure release handle when using “Quick Release” option. The
escaping steam is very hot and can cause serious burns or scalding.
• Never pull out the pressure release handle while it is letting out steam.
• It is important to understand the “Quick Release” option is not suitable
for food with large liquid volume or high starch content (e.g. porridge,
congee, sticky liquids, soup, etc.). The food content may splatter out from
the pressure release. Please use “Natural Release” option instead.
Natural Release:
• Allow the pressure cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve
drops down. This may take 10 to 15 minutes or even longer, depending on
the amount of food inside. After cooking is finished, the cooker will be in
Keep Warm mode.
• To assist the cooling process speed, you may unplug the power cord and
place a damp cloth over the metal part of the lid. It is important to not
cover the pressure release valve when doing this.
3. To open the lid: To avoid vacuum suction on the lid, turn the pressure
release valve to the “Venting” position. Hold the lid handle, turn count-
er-clockwise to the open position and lift.
• Caution: Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely
released. As a safety feature, the lid is locked and won’t open until the
float valve drops down.
• If the float valve is stuck due to food debris or sticky liquid, you can push
it down with a pen or chopstick after you are certain that the pressure has
been released completely by moving the pressure release handle to the
venting position.
• To avoid personal injuries, never attempt to force down the float valve to
open the lid. DO NOT open the lid until after the pressure is completely
released naturally or manually by opening the pressure release valve.
