There are two mechanical lid latches. The front lid latch just keeps the lid in the down
position. It can not be used to seal the lid for pressure cooking. The lid handle must be
fully engaged and locked in the down position for pressure cooking to work. During
the cooking cycle pressure builds to 12 PSI to facilitate a quicker cook cycle. Pressure
releases according to the programmable cook cycle. Typically near the end of the
cycle. Once the vats internal pressure drops low enough, the mechanical safety latch
disengages and allows the lid handle to be raised.
The pressure inside the vat must be fully released before lifting the lid handle. To
check the internal vat pressure, press the Info (information) button on the lower right
corner of the control panel. The pressure remaining in the vat displays. Wait for the
pressure to drop to 0 PSI before lifting the handle.
