For best results, always check that the Pressure Regulator Valve,
Pressure Indicator Valve, Gasket and Lid Lock Button are in good
working order and that there are no foreign particles blocking the
Steam Vent Tube, Pressure Lift Pin, Safety Valves or Steam Vent.
To expose the Steam Vent Tube,
the Pressure Regulator Valve
must be removed.

the Pressure Regulator Valve
counter-clockwise to the CLEAN
Position until it stops. Lift up on the
Pressure Regulator to remove easily.
Hold the Lid up to the light.
You should be able to see light
through the Steam Vent Tube.
2. If you cannot see light, the Steam
Vent Tube is blocked. Insert the

and out until you are sure the
Tube is clear.

Quick 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. You can release pressure quickly, without
waiting for the steam to dissipate, or the
Pressure Cooker to cool down by using
the Pressure Cooker’s STEAM RELEASE
feature. Wearing oven mitts, press the
Pressure Regulator Valve in and rotate
clockwise to the STEAM RELEASE
position. To stop the release of steam,
rotate back to the PRESSURE position.
CAUTION: To avoid scalding, release steam
in short bursts by pushing the Pressure
Regulator Valve momentarily.
CAUTION: When using this feature, only release the steam
IN SHORT BURSTS until the pressure is reduced, as hot liquid
may be ejected.
CAUTION: Keep hands and face away from the Pressure Regulator
Valve and Steam Vent Tube as hot steam will be released.
Use oven mitts.
CAUTION: The Pressure Regulator Valve may be hot. Use an oven
mitt or kitchen towel to protect your hand. Handle with care.
Never run water over or immerse the Pressure Cooker in water to
release pressure.
CAUTION: Escaping steam can scald you, and the Lid will be hot.
Release steam where it will not cause damage to cabinets or kitchen
equipment/accessories. Keep face away from the Pressure Regulator
Valve when releasing steam.
WARNING: DO NOT GO PAST THE STEAM position to the
CLEAN position.
CAUTION: Do not use the Quick Steam Release Method for foods
containing alot of liquid. There could be an overflow.
3. Use this method for some pressure cooking such as fruits, soft
vegetables and frozen vegetables.
4. It will take 2 to 5 minutes for pressure to go down completely. Wait
for the steam to stop coming out of the Pressure Regulator Valve’s
Steam Vent Tube. Then wait for the Pressure Lift Pin to drop down
before opening the Lid, following the procedures described in the
Pressure Cooking Operating Instructions section of this Use and
Care Guide.
