Slow Release
–If the Steam release button is
not depressed when cooking is finished, the
cooker will slowly de-pressurize when the
temperature drops towards room temperature.
This method is recommended for recipes
containing larger quantities of liquid such as
soups and casseroles to prevent liquid being
forced out with the steam. The Slow release
method is also used to finish off recipes such as
risottos and puddings.
When Slow release method is used, it is
necessary to push the steam release button to
ensure there is no more steam coming out and
turn the pressure release valve to the "steam
release position" where arrows are aligned to
OPEN arrow before attempting to open the lid.
The pressure release valve can get extremely
hot after cooking. Extreme caution must be
used when moving the pressure release valve.
It is recommended to use a tool as an aid to
move the pressure release valve.
NEVER FORCE THE LID OPEN
OPENING THE LID
• After all internal pressure is released, the lid
should open with ease.
• If the lid will not unlock or you encounter
resistance, it may indicate the appliance is
still under pressure.
• Press the steam release button until all
internal pressure is released and the lid can
be opened.
• If resistance is still encountered, disconnect
from the power supply and allow the pressure
cooker to cool down to room temperature.
