To Remove Lid
When pressure cooking cycle is finished, the unit
will automatically switch to the Keep Warm
position. At this point, you may choose to release
pressure in one of three ways – Natural Pressure
Release, Quick Pressure Release, or a
combination of both. The choice will be dictated
by the particular food being cooked and
indications in the recipe. If adapting your own
recipe for pressure cooking, find a similar recipe
in our recipe booklet and use that as a guide.
1. Natural Pressure Release – Allow the unit to
remain on Keep Warm. The pressure will
begin to drop – time for pressure to drop will
depend on the amount of liquid in the
pressure cooker and the length of time that
pressure was maintained. Natural Pressure
Release will take from 12 to 30 minutes.
During this time cooking continues, so it is
not recommended for certain cuts of meats
and some desserts. When pressure is fully
released, the float (pressure indicator) will
drop and the lid will unlock to open.
2. Quick Pressure Release – Following pressure
cooking you will hear a series of beeps
indicating the process is finished. Turn off and
pull the handle of the pressure limit valve
forward (see figure 7). Do not touch with your
hand. Use tongs or another tool.
Steam will immediately begin to release
through the valve. Keep face and hands away
from steam as it is released, and do not
release pressure under hanging cabinets,
which can be damaged by steam. When
pressure is fully released, the pressure
indicator will drop and the lid will unlock to
open. Using Quick Pressure Release stops
the pressure cooking immediately. If further
cooking is necessary, the unit may be
returned to Pressure, or the food may be
further cooked on the Simmer setting.
3.
Combination Natural Pressure Release
and Quick Pressure Release – Some
recipes use a combination of Natural
Pressure Release and Quick Pressure
Release. Allow Natural Pressure Release
for the time indicated in the recipe (food
will continue to cook slightly), followed by
Quick Pressure Release.
WARNING : USE EXTREME CAUTION
WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE. USE TONGS
OR SIMILAR UTENSIL TO PULL HANDLE OF
PRESSURE LIMIT VALVE FORWARD.
When the red float is completely down, turn the lid
clockwise and lift to remove.
SAFETY FEATURES
There are seven safety devices installed in the
pressure cooker to assure its reliability.
1. Open-and-Close Lid Safety Device
The appliance will not start pressurizing until
the lid is closed and locked properly. The lid
cannot be opened if the appliance is filled
with pressure.
2. Pressure Control Device
The correct pressure level is automatically
maintained during the cooking cycle.
3. Pressure Limit Valve
The pressure limit valve will release air
automatically when the pressure inside
exceeds the preset temperature.
