RELEASING PRESSURE
You must release pressure after pressure cooking before attempting to open the lid.
Follow your recipe’s instructions to choose a venting method, and always wait until the
fl oat valve drops into the lid before opening.

Steam ejected from the steam release
valve is hot. DO NOT place hands, face, or
any exposed skin over the steam release
assembly when releasing pressure to avoid
injury.

valve or cover to avoid injury and/or
property damage.

be down before attempting to remove the lid. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
