Venting Methods
When closing the lid, the quick release button will automatically reset to the popped up “Seal”
position.
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 the volume of food and liquid. May take 10-40
minutes, or longer.
