Natural Release (NR):
1. Leave the pressure release valve in the Sealing position.
2. The cooker dissipates heat so pressure releases naturally
overtime.
3. Allow cooker to cool down naturally until t he float valve drops
down.
This may take 10 to 15 minutes or even longer, depending on the
amount of food inside your cooker. After cooking is finished, cooker
will be in Keep Warm mode.
Safe Lid Opening
Open the lid: To avoid vacuum suction on the lid, turn the pressure
release valve to Venting position to let in air when lifting the lid. Hold
the lid handle, press lid release button, turn the lid counter-clockwise
to the open position, and lift the lid up to open.
WARNING:
• DO NOT lean over or touch the pressure release valve.
• DO NOT force open the lid.
• DO NOT place unprotected skin over pressure release valve.
• DO NOT cover pressure release valve.
CAUTION:
Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely released. As a
safety feature, the lid is locked and won’t open until the float valve drops down.
If the float valve is stuck due to food debris or sticky liquid, you can push it down
with a long utensil after you are certain that the pressure has been released
completely by moving the pressure release valve to the Venting position.
To avoid personal injuries, never attempt to force down the float valve to open
the lid. DO NOT open the lid until after the pressure is completely released
naturally or manually.
