LID OPENING
Some residual heat and steam may be released when opening the lid on the pressure cooker which may
cause injury. Protect your hands with oven mitts and use the lid
to
shield and direct steam away from
your face and hands when opening the lid.
Safe lid release:
1.
Wait until the pressure cooking program has completed or press the “Keep Warm/ Cancel/- ” key to
terminate the program.
2.
Unplug the pressure cooker and remove the power cord.
3.
Allow the cooker to cool down and wait until the safety valve
(1)
drops down. Depending on the
volume of food and liquid inside the cooker, this may take 12 to 30 minutes.
4.
Once the safety valve has dropped down, hold the lid handle and rotate the lid to clockwise towards the
unlock icon, until the lid is disengaged and then lift the lid open. (see
Fig.E
)
Attention: Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely released. See
Important
Safeguards.
Quick release:
WARNING! Burn hazard! Burst of steam will be given off vertically from center of the pressure regulator

To speed up the cooling down process, place a wet towel on the lid.
5.
Slowly open the pressure regulator valve by turning the valve anti-clockwise towards the steam symbol.
The steam symbol
should align with the arrow

6.
Wait until the safety valve has dropped down, hold the lid handle and rotate the lid to clockwise
towards the unlock icon, wait until the lid is disengaged and then lift the lid open. (see
Fig.E
)
Attention: Keep hands and face away from any escaping steam. It is very hot and can cause scalding.
See
Important Safeguards.
Note: A Quick Release is not suitable for food in large liquid volume or with high starch content (e.g.
porridge, congee, soup, etc.) because food may be expelled with steam. In this case, use the Safe Lid
Release method instead.
