cooking to maintain the pressure or heat.
12. When the cook time has expired, the unit will beep 10 times and automatically switch to the
keep warm mode. KEEP WARM will be illuminated.
13. Reduce pressure according to the recipe or timetable instructions (quick pressure release or
drop pressure of its own accord). See instructions for releasing pressure. Do not open the
cooker until all internal pressure has been released. You will know the pressure is
completely reduced when the green air vent/cover lock drops and no steam is emitted when
the pressure release valve is in the STEAM OUT position (Fig. Q).
WARNING! Never attempt to open the cooker when the green air vent/cover lock is up. Doing so
could result in severe burns and/or property damage from the release of pressurized contents.
14. After pressure is completely reduced and potential air bubbles dispersed, unlock the cover.
When removing the cover, lift it toward you to keep any steam away from you. Place cover
upside down on counter
CAUTION! Steam may escape and hot liquid may drip from the cooker cover when
removing it. Steam and hot liquid can cause burns.
15. Remove food from cooker using a heat-resistant plastic, nylon, rubber, or wooden utensil.
Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick surface.
16. When cooking is complete, unplug power cord from wall outlet and then from pressure
cooker. Allow cooker to cool completely before cleaning.

PRESSURE RELEASE METHODS

1) Quick pressure release:
 This method is used when cooking vegetables, seafood, and other delicate foods.
WARNING! To prevent the risk of severe personal injury and property damage, do NOT use
the quick pressure release method after cooking dry beans, peas, lentils, grains, or foods that
are mostly liquid, such as soup, sauces, and stews.
 When cooking time is up, press the cancel button and immediately move the lever on the
quick pressure release valve to the STEAM OUT position. Do not it by hands.
 !BE CAREFUL!
 You will hear sputtering and steam will release for approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Pressure is
completely reduced when the green air vent/cover lock has dropped
CAUTION! To prevent steam burns, keep hands and face away from the top of the pressure cooker
as pressure is being released.
2) Let pressure drop of its own accord:
 This method is used when cooking foods such as meats, soups, and grains. When cooking
time is up, keep the quick pressure release valve in the COOK position.
 Let the pressure cooker cool until the green air vent/cover lock drops. Then move the
pressure release valve to the STEAM OUT position.
NOTE: If desired, the food may be left in the cooker, which automatically switches to the keep
warm mode. Prior to opening the cooker, be sure to disperse any air bubbles by rocking it from side
to side (see instructions in IMPORTANT INFO).
