Operating Instructions
3. Wait until the safety float valve has
gone down before removing the
cover. Always lift the cover away
from you to release any remaining
steam so that you do not get
burned.
Normal Method
Allowing the steam to release naturally
is preferred when cooking foods like
stocks, sauces and certain large cuts of
meat which will benefit from continuing
to cook in the pressure cooker. As the
temperature decreases, so does the
pressure.
1. After the cooking process has been
completed, press the “Cancel”
button to stop the pressure cooker
from going into the “Keep Warm”
mode.
2. Wait until the safety float valve has
gone down before removing the
cover. Always lift the cover away
from you to release any remaining
steam so that you do not get
burned. (Fig. 9)

Note: Do not use this method with
foods that easily overcook.
Caution: Never attempt to force
open the pressure cooker cover until
the safety float valve has dropped.
Releasing Steam Pressure
Warning: Use extreme caution when
removing the cover after cooking.
Serious burns can result from steam
inside.
After you have finished cooking in your
pressure cooker, you can release the
steam pressure in one of three (3)
ways, “Quick Release”,
“Combination” and “Normal”.
Quick Release Method
1. After the cooking process has been
completed, press the “Cancel”
button to stop the pressure cooker
from going into the “Keep Warm”
mode.
2. Turn the steam release valve to the
“Open” position to release the
steam fast. (Fig. 8)
3. Wait until the safety float valve has
gone down before removing the
cover. Always lift the cover away
from you to release any remaining
steam so that you do not get
burned.
Caution: Escaping steam is very
hot. To avoid serious injuries or
burns, keep bare skin, face and eyes
away from the steam release valve.
Caution: Do not use the quick
release method for foods with a lot
of liquid such as soups and sauces.
There could be an overflow.
Important: Do not use the “Quick
Release” method with foods such as
legumes, grains or other foods that
froth or when the pressure cooker is
very full.
Combination Method

completed, press the “Cancel”
button to stop the pressure cooker
from going into the “Keep Warm”
mode.
