1. Make sure the pressure cooking program is complete or press “Keep-Warm/Cancel” to

terminate the program.

2. Release pressure by one of the following approaches.

Quick Release:

 Turn the pressure release handle to the "Venng" posion to let out steam unl the oat

valve drops down.

Cauon:

 Please keep hands and face away from the opening on the top of the pressure release

handle when using Quick Release. The escaping steam is hot and can cause scalds.

 Never pull out the pressure release handle when it is leng out steam.

 Please be aware that Quick Release is not suitable for food with large liquid volume or

high starch content (e.g. porridge, congee, scky liquids, soup, etc.). Food content may

splaer out from the pressure release. Use Natural Release instead.

Natural Release:

 Allow the cooker to cool down naturally unl the oat valve drops down. This may take 10

to 15 minutes or even longer, depending on the amount of food inside. Aer cooking is

nished, the cooker will be in Keep Warm mode.

 Place a wet towel on the lid to speed up cooling.

3. Open the lid: Hold the lid handle, turn the lid counterclockwise to the open posion, and li

the lid up to open. To avoid vacuum sucon on the lid, turn the pressure release to “Venng”

posion to let in air when liing the lid.

 Cauon: Do not open the lid unl pressure inside the pot is completely released. As a

safety feature, the lid is locked and won’t open unl the oat valve drops down.

 If the oat valve is stuck due to food debris or scky liquid, you can push it down with a

pen or chopsck aer you are certain that the pressure has been released completely by

moving the pressure release handle to the venng posion.

 To avoid personal injuries, never aempt to force down the oat valve to open the lid. DO

NOT open the lid unl aer the pressure is completely released naturally or manually by

opening the pressure release valve.
