IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
PRESSURE RELEASE METHODS
• When the programme is finished and you wish to commence pressure release press the “Cancel” button to cancel
the Keep Warm function.
• When releasing the pressure valve, always use tongs and please wear oven gloves to turn the pressure valve to the
open position. This will protect against hot steam. The valve will lift up slightly and steam will release. The lid won’t
open until the steam has vented and pressure has released.
• When opening the lid food will be hot, please always wear oven gloves and an apron to protect against any
splashing of the hot food.
QUICK RELEASE SLOW RELEASE
Recommended for:
- Quick cooking recipes and steaming, including
vegetables and seafood.
When the Keep Warm function has been
cancelled, move the pressure release valve to
the open position and only attempt to open lid
when all steam has released and the float valve
has dropped.
- Leave the pressure cooker to stand for 1 - 2
minutes.
- The Lid can now be opened, if the lid does not
open, wait a few more minutes and try again.
Never try to force the lid o as a locked lid is a
sign that the unit still has some pressure.
Float Valve
Recommended for:
- Food with skins (e.g sausages, chicken and fruit) and
foods with large liquid volume or high starch content
(such as porridge, soup, pasta, rice, fruit and grains, and
also delicate foods such as meats and potato) can trap air
and cause the food to foam and expand which may cause
splashing of hot food after the lid is removed.
To avoid any splashing, after you have cancelled the
Keep Warm function leave the pressure release valve
in the closed position and allow pressure to release
naturally. This can take 15 minutes or more. Recipe
dependant.. When the float valve has dropped, move
the pressure release valve to open to ensure all the
pressure is released.
- The Lid can now be opened, if the lid does not open,
wait a few more minutes and try again. Never try to force
the lid o as a locked lid is a sign that the unit still has
some pressure.

• For both methods, give the cooker a few gentle shakes while holding the base unit handles to release
any residual steam before opening the lid. There could still be steam held under the food that has not yet
broken the surface. Without gentle shaking, this steam could come to the surface even several seconds
after the lid has been removed.
NEVER FORCE OPEN THE LID
