9) When cooking has completed, the pressure cooker will beep 3-times and automatically go
to Keep Warm.
10) The Keep Warm indicator light will illuminate. The Pressure Cooker will automatically
release the pressure naturally. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
11) If you wish to Quick Release the pressure, move the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) to
"Exhaust" position to release the pressure until the Float Valve (5) sinks. (Figure 23a &
23b).
CAUTION: Keep hands and face away from Pressure Limiting Valve while in the
Exhaust position. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
12) Always be certain the pressure is released completely before unlocking the lid and opening
it.
CAUTION: Keep exposed hands and face away from the opening when opening the
lid. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
13) Remove food to serve immediately or press the Keep Warm button to keep food warm.
(It is not recommended to keep food warm for over 4-hours).
NOTES & TIPS #4:
• NATURAL RELEASE is recommended when cooking foods that will not have the
tendency to overcook such as Potatoes, Beans, Soups & Stews. During the Natural
Release time period (approximately 10-15 minutes), the pressure cooker may still be
heated and cooking the food slightly.
• QUICK RELEASE is recommended when cooking foods that you wish to be Medium
or Medium-Rare such as Beef Roasts or Lamb. This will release the pressure quickly
and prevent the food from over-cooking.
