Releasing Pressure at the End of Cooking
Natural Pressure Release Method:
After cooking cycle is complete, let Multi-
Cooker naturally release pressure. Unit will
gradually cool down on its own.Wait at least
10 minutes after cooking has completed, and
then rotate the Steam Release Dial to the
"Release"
position (see Figure 5). Do not
place any part of your hand or body over the
steam outlet on top of the valve, as steam
is very hot and can scald skin. The pressure
has been released when steam is no longer
escaping from the valve and the Lid opens
freely with minimal force. This can take up to
10-20 minutes. Never force the Lid open. Only
then is it safe to remove the Lid and serve
food.
Quick Pressure release method should be
used with caution:
Using a kitchen utensil, gradually flick the tab
on the Steam Release Valve to the "Release"
setting (see Figure 4). Steam will release
rapidly from the Steam Release Valve. Do
not place any part of your hand or body over

the steam outlet on the top of the valve, as
steam is very hot and can scald skin. Use
this method with caution when cooking liquid
ingredients such as casseroles, soups, stocks,
beans and pulses. Never use this method
when cooking rice, as rice tends to be very
delicate. The pressure has been released
when steam is no longer escaping from the
valve and the Lid opens freely with minimal
force. Only then is it safe to remove the Lid
and serve food.
CAUTION: Do not force the Lid to open. If
it does not open easily this means that the
Multi-Cooker is still under pressure.
CAUTION: During cooking, steam will build
up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the
Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect
your hand.
