NATURAL PRESSURE RELEASE VS .
QUICK PRESSURE RELEASE
NATURAL: When pressure cooking is
complete, steam will naturally release from
the unit as it cools down. This can take up
to 20 minutes or more, depending on the
amount of liquid and food in the pot. During
this time, the unit will switch to Keep Warm
mode. Press the KEEP WARM button if you
would like to turn Keep Warm mode off.
When natural pressure release is complete,
the unit will display "OPN Lid".
DELAYED: Use ONLY if your recipe calls
for it. When pressure cooking is complete
and the KEEP WARM light is on, turn the
pressure release valve to the VENT position
to instantly release pressure through the
valve.
Even after releasing pressure naturally or
using the pressure release valve, some steam
will remain in the unit and will escape when
the lid is opened. For recipes that require
more time at pressure once the cook time
has ended (for example, rice and grains).
NOTE: For larger food loads that require
more depressurisation, you can release
pressure by moving the valve to the
VENT position.

PRESSURISING

As pressure builds in the unit, the control
panel display will show "PrE" and progress
bars. Time to pressure varies based on the
amount and temperature of ingredients as
well as liquid in the pot. For safety, the lid
will lock as the unit pressurises and it will not
unlock until pressure is released. Once the
unit has reached full pressure, cooking will
begin and the timer will start counting down.
