When cooking nishes, the Pro Plus
releases a warning puff, followed by a
steady stream of steam from the top of
the steam release valve.
This is normal!
When pressure has been fully released,
the oat valve drops into the lid and the
pressure indicator light dims.
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).
If you see a lot of spatter while releasing pressure, touch the Venting field to return to
Natural, then touch Start. Wait a few minutes before trying to release pressure again. If spatter
continues, use NR to safely release the remaining pressure. Quick Release (QR or QPR)
