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 scalding.
 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.
