LID ASSEMBLY:

1. How to open the lid: Hold the
handle (1) firmly while pushing
down on the red lid release button
(22), turn the lid (2) clockwise
until it loosens and lift vertically
(Figures 6-7); Figures 6-8
the lid (2) can stand on the Lid Rest (20) (Figure 8).
Note: For new units, the seal of the Lid (2) may be slightly stronger than normal and may
be slightly difficult to unlock. Once the Lid (2) has been opened and closed several times,
it will loosen up.
2. How to close the lid: Observe
the Rubber Seal Ring (18) inside
the Lid (2) and ensure that it is
fitted onto the lid all the way
around.
Figures 9-11
(Caution: If the rubber seal ring is damaged, do not use the pressure cooker. Contact
Customer Service to repair or replace).
To lock Lid (2) in place, remove any food residue from rim of Upper Ring (9) of cooking
pot to ensure a proper seal. Take the Lid (2) off the Lid Rest (20) (Figure 9), hold the
Handle (1) and close it downwards at the Opened Lid position (Figure 10). Turn counter-
clockwise until you reach the Closed Lid position (Figure 11). (A clamping sound can be

markings on the Lid (2) and Main Body (13).
