Pressure Release

This pressure cooker allows two different ways to release cooking pressure:
Natural Release and Quick Release.

Natural Release

Allows the machine to rest after cooking until the pressure naturally decreases
enough to safely open the lid. This method is best for foods with high liquid
contents such as soup, beans, and stews.
To use the natural pressure release, rotate the steam release valve to the sealing
marker and do not move it during or after cooking. When the float valve drops, it is
safe to open the lid.

Quick Release

Allows the machine to release pressure quickly when cooking is complete. Best for
foods that require a precise cook time.
To use the quick pressure release, set the steam release valve to Sealing during
cooking and turn it to Venting when the cooking is done.
WARNING: Do not turn the steam release valve to Venting after cooking soup, or
any other food with a lot of liquid; the steam must be released naturally, leaving
the steam release valve set to Sealing.

Pressure Cooking Notes:

• The multi-purpose rack is not required unless you are combo cooking.
• Turning the steam release valve to Venting is optional unless you are combo
cooking. See "How to Use Steam Release Valve" for details.
•
When cooking completes, the machine will switch to Keep Warm mode and
the Keep Warm button will illuminate. Press the Stop button to turn off Keep
Warm mode. This mode will not turn on for SOUS VIDE, SAUTÉ, or YOGURT.
• You must use the cooking pot for pressure cooking. If you attempt to use the
air frying basket, a POT error message appears on the display and you will not
be able to cook until the correct pot is inserted.
• If the lid is not attached properly, a LID error message appears on the display
and you will not be able to cook until the lid is correctly attached and locked.
