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 specic 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 oat valve drops
into the lid.
When the steam release cover is installed properly,
you’ll hear a mufed 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.
CAUTION
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.
