Pressure control features
Quick release switch
The quick release switch controls the steam release valve — the part that releases pressure.
Seal position
What we love about it
It's super easy to use and keeps our
hands well away from the steam when
the multicooker is releasing pressure!
See Releasing pressure: Venting methods for safe depressurisation techniques.
Steam release valve
The steam release valve sits loosely on the steam release pipe.
When the multicooker releases pressure, steam is ejected
from the top of the steam release valve. The steam
release valve is integral to product safety and necessary
for pressure cooking.
Do not cover or block the steam release valve in any way to avoid risk of personal
injury and/or property damage.

Vent position
What we should know about it
It automatically sets to Seal when you close
the lid, so make sure you move it to Vent when
you're not pressure cooking.
