Quick Steam Release

NOTE: Quick Steam Release should be used when cooking with RICE/RISOTTO, EGG, STEAM,
DESSERTS, and MULTIGRAIN functions, or whenever the recipe specifies.
CAUTION: After using the SOUPS/BROTH function, allow several minutes before releasing the
pressure and removing the lid to prevent hot liquids from boiling over.
1. Using an oven mitt or kitchen towel,
turn the pressure release valve to
PRESSURE RELEASE and allow the
steam to escape. (See Figure 14.)
When the pressure is fully released,
the safety valve will drop down
completely.
2. Holding the base handles firmly in one
hand, firmly grasp the lid handle with the other hand and rotate clockwise (follow the arrow
on the lid handle) to unlock. (See Figure 3.)
WARNING: Use caution when opening lid. Steam escapes as soon as the lid is opened.
3. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to avoid steam.
CAUTION: Never place your face or hands over the Multi Cooker when removing the lid.
CAUTION: Always use oven mitts when handling the hot cooking pot.
4. Check food to see if it has been cooked sufficiently. If not, replace the lid and lock into position
following the previous instructions. Set cook time to 5 minutes (minimum cook time). Cook
under pressure an additional 2 to 3 minutes if necessary.
5. Press WARM/CANCEL after 2 minutes. A series of 4 dashes (- - - - ) will be displayed to indicate
the Multi Cooker is OFF . Turn the pressure release valve to PRESSURE RELEASE to quick
release steam.
6. Unplug cord from the electrical outlet after use.
