The unit will then start to cool down and de-pressurize on its own. It will beep 3 times.
The
(P)
will turn back to a
(0)
and the Keep Warm light will begin to blink.
-
During this time, the food inside is still cooking. Depending if you want your food to be
cooked longer, you can allow the unit to naturally release the pressure by letting the unit
sit for a while. (Some meats will keep cooking once the pressure is released, so if you
prefer your meat to be Medium or Medium-Rare, we suggest the quick release.)
-
Once the pressure has completely released, the floating valve will drop down. You can
unlock the lid and open to check on your food.
3. When I set the pressure cooker using the Manual Pressure Cooking time OR the
Preset Menu Buttons, it will begin to build pressure and heat up but in about 5-
minutes the unit beeps 3 times and goes to Keep Warm and my food did not cook
completely. What is happening?
-
The unit is sensing that there is a leak in the pressure and that it is not sealed up
properly. Check the unit thoroughly. Make sure the rubber gasket ring is in place, the lid
is securely locked, an
d that the Valve on top of the lid is set to the “Airtight” position.
Reset the unit by unplugging it. Wait 10-seconds and plug it back in. Program the unit
again.
-
Another reason that this may happen is that not enough liquid has been added to your
recipe. The pressure cooker has an automatic over-heat prevention sensor that will
automatically set itself to OFF or to Keep Warm when it senses that no liquid is present so
that it does not over-heat.
4. Steam is being released around the rim of the lid during the pressurizing sequence.
How do I fix this?
- The Rubber Sealing Ring did not seal properly. Cancel all the functions. Exhaust any
remaining pressure and steam. Open the lid and remove it entirely. Check the Rubber
Sealing Ring to make sure it is positioned properly. Rub a wet cloth along it to make sure
it is clean of debris and it is smooth. Re-assemble the lid, lock it securely in place and
restart the cooking process.
5. Steam is being released from the Pressure Limiting Valve during the pressurizing
sequence. How do I fix this?
- The Valve may not be positioned properly. Simply use tongs or a similar utensil or oven
mitt and carefully adjust it so it is seated properly. If the steam continues to release, you
may need to cancel all the functions. Exhaust any remaining pressure and steam.
