Releasing pressure
Use NR to depressurise the multicooker after cooking high-starch foods
(e.g., soups, stews, chilis, pasta, oatmeal and congee) or after cooking
foods that expand when cooked (e.g., beans and grains).
Quick Release (QR or QPR)
Stops cooking quickly and prevents overcooking. Perfect for quick-cooking vegetables
and delicate seafood!
Carefully, quickly and confidently, turn the steam
release handle to Venting and wait for all pressure
inside the multicooker to be released.
Venting position
Timed natural release
The carryover cooking continues for a specific amount of time, then stops quickly when
you release the remaining pressure. Perfect for finishing rice and grains.
Leave the steam release handle in the Sealing position
for a while (according to your recipe) then turn it to
Venting and wait for all pressure inside the multicooker
to be released.
If there is substantial spatter while venting, turn the steam release handle back to Sealing.
Wait a few minutes before trying to release pressure again. If spatter continues, use NR to
safely release the remaining pressure.

Always refer to the actual product.
Steam ejected from the steam release handle is hot. DO NOT place hands, face
or any exposed skin over the steam release handle when releasing pressure.
Do not use QR when cooking fatty, oily, thick or high-starch foods (e.g., stews,
chilis, pasta and congee) or when cooking foods that expand when cooked
(e.g., beans and grains).

The temperature within the multicooker drops, so the
steam release may not be as powerful as a normal QR.
When the pressure has been fully released, the float
