Pressure control features
Steam release assembly
The steam release assembly must be fully installed before use.
What we love about it What you should know about it
When the valve’s a-venting,
the steam release cover
disperses the steam, so the
quick release of pressure is
soft and gentle.
The steam release valve sits loosely on the steam
release pipe.
When releasing pressure, steam travels up from the
inner pot, through the steam release pipe and out from
the top of the steam release valve — so it’s important to
keep the area clean and clear.
WARNING
Do not cover or block the steam release assembly in any way to avoid injury
and/or property damage.
