the sealing ring rack and the anti-block shield is mounted properly on the
steam release pipe. A properly seated sealing ring can be shifted, with a
bit of effort, clockwise or anti-clockwise inside the sealing ring rack.
After use, remove any foreign objects from the sealing ring and anti-block
shield.
Keep the sealing ring clean to avoid odor. Washing the sealing ring in warm
soapy water or dishwasher can remove odor. However, it is normal for the
sealing ring to absorb the smell of certain acidic foods. That's why it is
always a good idea to have more than one sealing ring on hand.
Never pull the sealing ring by force, as the pulling may cause
deformation and affect its function in sealing the pressure.
A sealing ring with cracks, cuts or other damages should not be used. A
new sealing ring replacement should be used.
Safe Lid Opening
1. Make sure the pressure cooking program has completed or press
“Keep-Warm/Power button” to terminate the program.
2. Releasing pressure in one of the following approaches.
Quick Release:
Slide the steam release handle to the "Venting" position to let out steam
until the float valve drops down.
Caution:
Please keep hands and face away from the hole on the top of the steam
release handle when using Quick Release. The escaping steam is very hot
and can cause scalding.
Never pull out the steam release handle when it is letting out steam.
Please be aware that Quick Release is not suitable for food in large liquid
volume or with high starch content (e.g. porridge, congee, sticky liquids,
soup, etc.). Food content may splatter out with steam. Use Natural
Release instead.
Natural Release:
Allow the cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve drops down.
This may take 10 to 15 minutes after cooking is finished and the cooker is in
Keep-Warm mode.
Putting a wet towel on the lid can speed up cooling.
3. Open the lid: Hold the lid handle, turn the lid counterclockwise to the open
position, and lift the lid up to open. To avoid vacuum suction on the lid, turn the
steam release to Venting position to let in air when lifting the lid.
Caution: Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely
