09 Follow instructions for a Quick Release
in Releasing pressure: Venting
methods.
Pressurized steam
releases through the top of the steam
release valve. Keep exposed skin away
from the steam release valve.
10 Wait for the float valve to drop,
then carefully open and remove the
lid as described in Pressure control
features: Pressure cooking lid.
DO NOT attempt to
remove the lid while the float valve is
up and NEVER attempt to force the
lid open. Contents are under extreme
pressure. Float valve must be down
before attempting to remove the lid.
Failure to follow these instructions may
result in serious personal injury and/or
property damage.
11 Using proper hand protection,
remove the inner pot from the
cooker base, discard the water and
thoroughly dry the inner pot.
The inner pot will be hot
after cooking. Always use appropriate heat
protection when handling a hot inner pot.
That's it! You're good to go :)
