" "
Allow the cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve drops down. This may take
10 to 15 minutes after cooking is finished and the cooker is in Keep-Warm mode.
Putting a wet towel on the lid can speed up cooling.
3. Open the lid: Hold the lid handle, turn the lid counterclockwise to the open
position, and lift the lid up to open.
Caution: Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely released. As a
safety feature, until the float valve drops down, the lid is locked and cannot be opened.
If the float valve is stuck due to food debris or stickiness, you can push it down with a
chopstick when you are certain the pressure has been released.

3. Take out inner pot, and put in food and liquid
The total amount of food and water should NEVER exceed the
maximum level marking of the inner pot. It is recommended
that you do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods
that expand during cooking such as rice, beans or dried
vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Over filling may risk
clogging the vent pipes and developing excess pressure. This
could also cause spillage and may damage to the unit.
Max
Never pull the sealing ring by force, as the pulling may cause deformation and affect
its function in sealing the pressure.
A sealing ring with cracks, cuts or other damages should not be used. A new sealing
ring replacement should be used.
