      If the pressure lid cannot be taken off your Ninja Kitchen appliance, turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position to quick release the pressurized steam. When the steam is completely released, the unit will be ready to open, indicated by the red float valve being in the lowered position.

      If a lot of steam is coming from the Ninja Kitchen appliance during the Steam function, it’s normal for steam to release through the pressure release valve during cooking. Leave the pressure release valve in the VENT position when using Steam, Slow Cook, and Sear/Sauté.
