Depressurising the Cooker (Venting Methods)
Always follow recipe instructions for depressurising the cooker.
Natural Release (NR)
Leave the quick release button in the popped-up Seal position. As the
temperature within the cooker drops, the cooker depressurises naturally over time.
Depressurisation time varies based upon the volume and type of food and liquid.
When the cooker has completely depressurised, the float valve drops into the lid.
Use NR to depressurise the cooker after cooking high-starch foods (e.g., soups,
NOTICE
stews, chilis, pasta, oatmeal and congee) or after cooking foods that expand when
cooked (e.g., beans and grains).
Quick Release (QR)
Press the quick release button down until it clicks and locks into the Vent position.
When depressed, a stream of steam releases through the top of the steam release
valve.
Steam ejected from the steam release valve is hot. Do not place hands, face, or any
CAUTION
exposed skin over the steam release valve when releasing pressure.
Note: Steam may range in opacity but is always loud!
When the cooker has completely depressurised, the float valve drops into the lid.
