VENTING METHODS
When closing the lid, the quick release button will automatically
reset to the popped up
Seal
position.
Vent Position
Seal Position
Natural Release (NR)
Leave the quick release button in the
Seal
position (up). The cooker dissipates heat so pressure releases naturally over time.
This method must be used when cooking food such as soups, stews or chilis, as well as food that expands, such as beans
and grains.
Note: Depressurisation time will vary based upon volume of food and liquid. May take 10-40 minutes, or longer.
Quick Release (QR)
Press quick release button down until it clicks.
When depressed, a continuous stream of steam will be released through
the steam release valve until the float valve drops into the lid.
Note: It will be loud!
If spatter occurs, flick quick release button to reset it to the
Seal
position, and try
again after a few minutes. If spatter continues, use NR to vent remaining pressure.
Float valve will drop when cooker has depressurised.
Do not
attempt to open the lid while the float valve is still popped up.
CAUTION
Steam is hot. To avoid burn injury, do not lean or place
unprotected skin over the steam release valve, and do not cover.
