To abort a cycle in progress, press the red POWER key on the keypad assembly.
This will shut off power to the unit. You will then need to open the green–handled
manual exhaust valve (labeled Manual Steam Exhaust Valve) visible by removing
the access panel below the chamber door. Wait for the pressure inside the chamber
to reach atmosphere before carefully opening the door.
