Note:
Cold or frozen food items take longer to generate steam and slow down
pressurization. For the fastest results, thaw frozen ingredients before cooking.
Depending on the amount of food and the temperature, the preheat cycle may take
up to 40 minutes. As the cooker heats up and pressure builds, the float valve will rise
on its own.
