Steam will immediately begin to
release through the valve. Keep face
and hands away from steam as it is
released, and do not release pressure
under hanging cabinets, which can
be damaged by steam. When
pressure is fully released, the
pressure indicator will drop and the
lid will unlock to open. Using Quick
Pressure Release stops the pressure
cooking immediately. If further cooking
is necessary, the unit may be returned
to Pressure, or the food may be further
cooked on the Simmer Setting.

Combination Natural Pressure Release
and Quick Pressure Release – For
some recipes, we have chosen to use
a combination of Natural Pressure
Release and Quick Pressure Release.
Allow Natural Pressure Release for
the time indicated in the recipe (food
will continue to cook slightly) followed
by Quick Pressure Release.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION
WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE. USE
TONGS OR SIMILAR UTENSIL TO PULL
HANDLE OF PRESSURE LIMIT VALVE
FORWARD.
When the red float is completely down,
turn the lid clockwise and lift to remove.
PRESSURE
COOKER
SETTINGS
1. Low Pressure
2. High Pressure
3. Browning –
This preset
temperature
allows cooking
over high heat,
without the lid,
before pressure
cooking.
Browning foods in a small amount of
fat in this way seals the outer
surfaces of meats and vegetables,
producing a visually appealing,
flavourful exterior with a moist, tender
interior. Browning reduces the time it
takes full pressure to build and
pressure cooking to begin.
4. Sauté – The preset temperature,
done prior to pressure cooking with
lid removed, allows you to quickly
soften vegetables in a small amount
of fat or liquid without browning, and
to cook items such as rice (Arborio,
brown, Carnaroli, white, etc.) for
pilafs and risottos. Sautéing reduces
the time it takes full pressure to build
and pressure cooking to begin.
5. Simmer – This preset temperature
allows you to cook liquids at a lower
temperature. It is primarily used to
finish cooking some items, i.e. to
add ingredients to a risotto, sauce,
or stew or to continue cooking
process to achieve preferred texture.
Simmering reduces the time it takes
full pressure to build and pressure
cooking to begin.
6. Keep Warm – Holds and keeps
cooked food warm for up to 12 hours
(see next page).
SAFETY VALVES
There are seven safety devices installed
in the pressure cooker to assure its
reliability.
1. Open-and-Close Lid Safety Device
The appliance will not start
pressurizing until the lid is closed
and locked properly.
The lid cannot be opened if the
appliance is filled with pressure.
2. Pressure Control Device
The correct pressure level is
automatically maintained during the
cooking cycle.
3. Pressure Limit Valve
The pressure limit valve will release
air automatically when the pressure
inside exceeds the preset
temperature.
