Depressurizing the Cooker (Venting Methods)
Always follow recipe instructions for depressurizing the cooker.
When the cooker has completely depressurized, the oat valve drops into the lid
as indicated in Overview of Pressure Control Features—Float Valve.
Natural Release (NR)
Leave the quick release button in the popped-up Seal position. As the
temperature within the cooker drops, the cooker depressurizes naturally over time.
Depressurization time varies based upon the volume and type of food and liquid.
When the cooker has completely depressurized, the oat valve drops into the lid.
Quick Release (QR)
Press the quick release button down until it clicks and locks into the Vent position.
When depressed, a stream of steam releases through the top of the steam release valve.
Note: Steam may range in opacity but is always loud!
Seal Position
NOTICE
Use NR to depressurize the cooker after cooking high-starch foods (e.g., soups,
stews, chilis, pasta, oatmeal and congee) or after cooking foods that expand when
cooked (e.g., beans and grains).
CAUTION
Steam ejected from the steam release valve is hot. Do not place hands, face, or any
exposed skin over the steam release valve when releasing pressure.
