CAUTION:  WHEN REMOVING LID, STEP BACK AND TILT LID

AWAY FROM YOU TO AVOID STEAM. 

6. Add salt to taste. If beans are still quite hard, return to high

pressure for a few more minutes. If beans require just a little
more cooking, press the COOK MODE Button for BROWN. The
red Indicator Light next to BROWN will be lit. Then press the
START Button and cook uncovered until done. Stir in more
water if cooking liquid becomes very thick.

7. If time permits, allow beans to cool in cooking liquid. 
8. Ladle beans into a colander set over a large bowl. Drain beans

thoroughly. Remove bay leaves. Reserve cooking liquid for use
as broth, if you wish.
