Steam will immediately begin to

release through the valve. Keep face

and hands away from steam as it is

released, and do not release pressure

under hanging cabinets, which can

be damaged by steam. When pres-

sure is fully released, the pressure

indicator will drop and the lid will

unlock to open. Using Quick Pressure

Release stops the pressure cooking

immediately. If further cooking is nec-

essary, the unit may be returned to

Pressure, or the food may be further

cooked on the Simmer Setting.

Combination Natural Pressure Release

and Quick Pressure Release – For

some recipes, we have chosen to use

a combination of Natural Pressure

Release and Quick Pressure Release.

Allow Natural Pressure Release for

the time indicated in the recipe (food

will continue to cook slightly) followed

by Quick Pressure Release.

WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION

WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE. USE

TONGS OR SIMILAR UTENSIL TO PULL

HANDLE OF PRESSURE LIMIT VALVE

FORWARD.

When the red float is completely down,

turn the lid clockwise and lift to remove.

PRESSURE

COOKER

SETTINGS

1. Low Pressure

2. High Pressure

3. Browning –

This preset

temperature

allows cooking

over high heat,

without the lid,

before pressure

cooking.

Browning foods in a small amount of

fat in this way seals the outer

surfaces of meats and vegetables,

producing a visually appealing,

flavorful exterior with a moist, tender

interior. Browning reduces the time it

takes full pressure to build and

pressure cooking to begin.

4. Sauté – The preset temperature,

done prior to pressure cooking with

lid removed, allows you to quickly

soften vegetables in a small amount

of fat or liquid without browning, and

to cook items such as rice (Arborio,

brown, Carnaroli, white, etc.) for

pilafs and risottos. Sautéing reduces

the time it takes full pressure to build

and pressure cooking to begin.

5. Simmer – This preset temperature

allows you to cook liquids at a lower

temperature. It is primarily used to

finish cooking some items, e.g., to

add ingredients to a risotto, sauce,

or stew or to continue cooking

process to achieve preferred texture.

Simmering reduces the time it takes

full pressure to build and pressure

cooking to begin.

6. Keep Warm – Holds and keeps

cooked food warm for up to

12 hours.

SAFETY FEATURES

There are seven safety devices installed in

the pressure cooker to assure its

reliability.

1. Open-and-Close Lid Safety Device

The appliance will not start

pressurizing until the lid is closed

and locked properly.

The lid cannot be opened if the

appliance is filled with pressure.

2. Pressure Control Device

The correct pressure level is

automatically maintained during

the cooking cycle.

3. Pressure Limit Valve

The pressure limit valve will release

air automatically when the pressure

inside exceeds the preset

temperature.
