RELEASING PRESSURE
NOTICE
Do not use QR when cooking fatty, oily, thick or high-starch foods (e.g., stews, chilis,
pasta and congee) or when cooking foods that expand when cooked (e.g., beans and
grains).
Timed Natural Release
The carryover cooking continues for a specifi c amount of time, then stops quickly when
you release the remaining pressure. Perfect for cooking rice and grains.
What to do What to expect
Leave the quick release switch
in the Seal position for a few
minutes (according to your
recipe) then move it from Seal
to Vent and wait until the fl oat
valve drops into the lid.
When the steam release cover is installed properly,
you’ll hear a muffl ed hiss as steam hits the cover
and disperses.
If the cover is not installed properly, a loud jet of
steam will eject through the top of the steam release
valve.
The temperature within the multicooker drops, so the
steam release may not be as powerful as a normal QR.
If you see a lot of spatter while releasing pressure, move the quick release switch back from
Vent to Seal, and wait a few minutes before trying to release pressure again. If spatter
continues, use NR to safely release the remaining pressure.
Vent reminder
Set a reminder for your Timed Natural Release so you can step away and own your day.
