Releasing pressure
Quick Release (QR or QPR)
Stops cooking quickly and prevents overcooking. Perfect for quick-cooking vegetables
and delicate seafood!
What to do What to expect
Carefully, quickly and condently, turn the steam
release handle to Venting and wait for all pressure
inside the multicooker to be released.
Venting position
A jet of steam is ejected through the top of the steam
release handle.
This is normal!
When the pressure has been fully released, the oat
valve drops into the lid.
Timed natural release
The carryover cooking continues for a specic amount of time, then stops quickly when
you release the remaining pressure. Perfect for nishing rice and grains.
What to do What to expect
Leave the steam release handle in the Sealing position
for a while (according to your recipe) then turn it to
Venting and wait for all pressure inside the multicooker
to be released.
A jet of steam is ejected through the top of the steam
release handle.
The temperature within the multicooker drops, so the
steam release may not be as powerful as a normal QR.
When the pressure has been fully released, the oat
valve drops into the lid.
If there is substantial spatter while venting, turn the steam release handle back to Sealing.
Wait a few minutes before trying to release pressure again. If spatter continues, use NR to
safely release the remaining pressure.
CAUTION
Steam ejected from the steam release handle is hot. DO NOT place hands, face
or any exposed skin over the steam release handle when releasing pressure.
NOTICE
Do not use QR when cooking fatty, oily, thick or high-starch foods (e.g., stews,
chilis, pasta and congee) or when cooking foods that expand when cooked
(e.g., beans and grains).
