SAFE LID OPENING
1.
Make sure the pressure-cooking program has completed or press "Keep-
Warm/Cancel" to terminate the program.
2.
Releasing pressure in one of the following approaches.
Quick Release:
Slide the steam release handle to the "Venting" position to let out steam.
CAUTION:
•
Please keep hands and face away from the hole on the top of the steam
release handle when using Quick Release. The escaping steam is very hot and
can cause scalding.
•
Never pull out the steam release handle when it is letting out steam.
•
Please be aware that Quick Release is not suitable for food in large liquid
volume or with high starch content (e.g., porridge, congee, sticky liquids,
soup, etc.). Food content may splatter out with steam. Use Natural Release
instead.
Natural Release:
•
Allow the cooker to cool down naturally. This may take 10 to 15 minutes after
cooking is finished and the cooker is in Keep-Warm mode. Putting a wet towel
on the lid can speed up cooling.
•
Open the lid: Hold the lid handle, turn the lid counterclockwise to the open
position, and lift the lid up to open. To avoid vacuum suction on the lid, turn
the steam release to "Venting" position to let in air when lifting the lid.
•
CAUTION: Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely
released. As a safety feature, the lid is locked and cannot be opened.
COOKING PREPARATION
