best fits the type of food you’re cooking.

cooking stops.

and grains.
1. After cooking, leave steam release switch in Seal position until all
pressure is released.
2. Float valve drops into lid when all steam is released.
3. After steam release, turn lid counterclockwise and remove the lid.
Quick steam release

This appliance uses pressure to cook. Allow the appliance to release
all excess pressure and steam before opening the lid. Opening the
lid before pressure is released may result in burns, personal injury
and/or property damage. Read more in the Safety, Maintenance and
Warranty document.
