Safely Releasing Pressure
CAUTION:
•
DO NOT
lean over the pressure cooker or place exposed skin over the pressure
release valve when releasing the pressure inside the pot.
•
DO NOT
open the lid until the pressure inside the pot has been completely
released. For your safety, the lid will remain locked until the float valve drops
down.
•
DO NOT
, under any circumstance, force the float valve down while it is still up.
There are 2 ways to release the pressure inside the pot after cooking has finished.
Natural Release:
1. Allow the pressure cooker to rest for about 10–15 minutes.
2. After that time, press the pressure release button to release any remaining
pressure.
3. Open the lid once the float valve has gone down. Remember to press the valve
reset button after releasing all of the pressure inside the pot.
Quick Release:
1. Press the pressure release button immediately after cooking has finished.
2. Allow the pressure to release until the float valve goes down.
3. Open the lid once the float valve has gone down. Remember to press the valve
reset button after releasing all of the pressure inside the pot.
NOTE:
The quick release method is not suitable for foods that have a large liquid volume
or a high starch content (e.g., soups, porridge, fruit jams). It is recommended to use
the natural release method when cooking liquids such foods. Immediately releasing
pressure may result in food spraying out through pressure release valve.
3. To close the lid, place it back down onto the pressure cooker housing. Grip the lid
handle and twist it clockwise so that lines up with the white mark at the top
of the control panel.
4. Plug in the pressure cooker and press
‘Steam.’
5. Press
‘Start/On’
to start cooking. The display will show “00:05” to indicate that
the pressure cooker is heating up. Trace amounts of steam will release from
either valve until the float valve pops up during this initial heating process. Once
the unit reaches optimal cooking pressure, the unit will beep once and the display
will show “P0:05.”
6. When the cooking program has finished, the pressure cooker will beep 5 times.
Press
‘Stop/Cancel’
to set the pressure cooker to standby mode.
