Venting Methods |
Natural Release (NR)
Leave the steam release in the “Seal” position (up). The cooker dissipates heat so pressure releases naturally over time.
This method must be used when cooking food such as soups, stews or chilis, as well as food that expands, such as
beans and grains.
Note: Depressurization time will vary based upon volume of food and liquid. May take 10-40 minutes, or longer.
Quick Release (QR)
Vent: Press quick release button down until it clicks.
When depressed, a continuous stream of steam will be released through
the steam release valve until the float valve drops into the lid.
Note: It will be loud!
If spatter occurs, flick quick release button to reset it to the “Seal” position,
and try again after a few minutes. If spatter continues, use NR to vent
remaining pressure.
Seal: Flick quick release button to reset it to the popped up “Seal” position.
CAUTION
Float valve will drop when cooker has depressurized.
Do not attempt to open the lid while the oat valve is
still popped up.
WARNING
Do not lean over the steam
release valve.
Do not place unprotected skin
over the steam release valve.
Do not cover the steam
release valve.
