the steam release handle on the lid to “Venting” position.

Natural Release - Continue cooking using the cooker’s residual heat and steam,

by pressing [Cancel]and waiting for the pressure to come down on its own and

the lid to un-lock—this will take about 20 minutes (more if the cooker is very full).

10-minute Natural Release - Let the cooker go into “Keep Warm” mode and

count 10 minutes. Then press [Cancel] and twist the steam release handle on the

lid to “Venting” position.
