3. Automatic Release Method: When
using the automatic release method,
turn the dial on the operating valve to
the release position (steam drawing
position, fig. 7) and the steam will be
released automatically.
WARNING: The steam coming out
of the pressure valve will be very hot,
and might disperse some droplets of
hot water. Do not place your hands
directly in front of the jet of steam,
and make sure it is not directed
towards anything that can be dama-
ged by the heat. Once the steam has
totally been released and the pressu-
re indicator has dropped, go to #4 in
this section.
4. After all the pressure has been relea-
sed and you see the pressure indi-
cator has lowered, slide the pressure
cooker lock down to the bottom of
the handle. Hold the pot handle
with your left hand and slide the
lid handle to the right with your
right hand. Even though you have
already released the pressure,
never open the pressure cooker
towards your face since there
may be intense cooking steam
still inside the unit. To avoid the
risk of scalding, let the droplets
of condensed water drip back
from the lid into the cooker.
5. Opening during cooking. If you
should need to open the pressure
cooker during the cooking process, it
must be depressurize first as descri-
bed in this section. We recommend
using the automatic release method
for this purpose, as this method will
cool down your pressure cooker the
least, hence aiding to build pressure
again faster to continue cooking. The
lid will be hot, so be careful when
opening and closing it; to reduce the
risk of burns, only touch the handles.
Remember that you are interrupting
the cooking process by opening the
cooker; when you continue cooking,
you must adjust the remaining coo-
king time and set the timer accordin-
gly.
6. Never force the cooker open. It may
only be opened if the pressure indi-
cator has dropped into its socket
completely and no more steam esca-
pes when the safety lock is moved to
the open position.
