* depending on model
To release pressure
■ After the heat has been turned off you have two
alternatives:
■■ Slow pressure release: gradually turn the
programme selector to the steam position .
When the pressure indicator drops, your Pressure
Cooker is no longer under pressure. This is used for
stews, vegetables, joints of meat and fish dishes.
Beware of the steam jet during steam release.
If you notice an unusual release of pressure
during decompression: turn the selector to position
or then repeat the decompression
procedure slowly, making sure that the pressure
has released normally.
■■ Fast pressure release:
Remove the timer before this operation*.
■ Place the Pressure Cooker under cold running
water. When the pressure indicator pin drops, your
Pressure Cooker is no longer under pressure, turn
the pressure regulator valve to position . This is
used for soups, rice, pasta, milk puddings, cake and
pudding mixes, recipes containing rice or pasta, or
recipes with a high liquid content. If in doubt, use
the fast release method.
If you cannot open the lid:
■ Check that the pressure indicator is down in the
normal position.
■ If not, release pressure, as needed, by placing the
pressure cooker under a cold tap.
