Steam Release Methods
NATURAL STEAM RELEASE METHOD
1. After pressure cooking, turn the Variable
Temperature/Pressure Control to
WARMING and unplug the unit. The
POWER Indicator Light will turn off.
2. Allow the Pressure Cooker to cool slowly
at room temperature. Depending on the
amount and type of food, this will take
5 to 10 minutes. Wait until the pressure has totally been
released from the Pressure Regulator Valve and the Pressure
Lift Pin has dropped.
3. To remove the Pressure Cooker Lid, slide the Lid Lock Button
towards you, twist the Lid counter-clockwise until the Lid
can be removed easily. Always tilt the Lid away from you to
avoid the steam.
CAUTION: Never force the Pressure Cooker Lid open. The Safety
Lock will not release Lid if any steam pressure
remains in the Pressure Cooker. If the Lid is difficult to
open, allow the Pressure Cooker more time to cool
down until the pressure is fully reduced.
CAUTION: Proper care must be taken with hot cookware. Be
careful not to come in contact with hot Pressure
Cooker Pan, Lid and accessories. Use protective
mitts or gloves to move hot Pan. When opening a hot
Pan, use special caution. Escaping steam is hot and
can cause burns.
WARNING: The Pressure Cooker Pan and Lid remain very hot
after cooking.
