NATURAL STEAMING OFF

Turn the heat off. Allow the pressure to fall naturally, then open the Pressure Cooker. This method is recommended for frothing foods or foods that expand greatly such as beans and rice.

Combination Method:

Turn the heat off. Allow the pressure cooker to cool off and the pressure to naturally decrease for the amount of time indicated on the recipe (standing time). Release the remaining pressure by using either the natural Steaming-Off method or the Quick Release method.

Quick Release Method:

Caution must be exercised when using this method as a large volume of steam will escape from pressure selector dial and may cause a scalding injury if your face or any other part of your body is in front of this valve when steam is being released.

When using the Quick release method, you

must be prepared for a loud hissing sound.7 This sound is normal and only occurs when

you use this method of steam release.

You can either release the pressure on the stove or take it to the sink or a counter. When removing the pressure cooker from the stove, use two hands and only touch the stay cool handles.

Slowly turn the pressure setting to “0”. You should momentarily stop at each interim pressure setting before reaching zero. Once all the steam has escaped, you can remove the lid by opening it away from your face or body.

DO NOT USE THIS METHOD WITH FOODS LIKE LEGUMES, GRAIN OR OTHER FOODS THAT FROTH OR WHEN THE PRESSURE COOKER IS VERY FULL.

Never put any part of your body in front of the Quick release Valve.

Never force the lid open.

Never open the lid towards your face.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

Cleaning:

Body - Clean the body of the pressure cooker like any other stainless steel pot. Either run it through the dishwasher or wash it by hand. Do not use a scouring pad or any abrasive cleaner as they may scratch the surfaces.

To remove stubborn stains and accumulated discoloration, add the juice of half a lemon mixed with 2 cups of water to the pressure cooker. Cook at maximum pressure for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cool to reduce pressure, wash with hot, soapy water and rinse.

Lid - The lid should be washed with hot, soapy water and rinsed. The lid and seal should NEVER be placed in the dishwasher.

Seal - Remove the rubber seal. Wash and oil after each use. Replace seal with a Genuine Replacement Seal every six (6) months.

Valves - The valves do not have to be cleaned after each use unless they have become clogged. If you use your pressure cooker often, you may want to clean your valves on a regular basis. A good rule of thumb, is to clean the top portion of the pressure valve monthly. Clean the automatic valve only if it gets clogged or does not move freely.

Cleaning the Valves:

Before you can clean the valves,

 

you must remove the plastic cover,

 

by pressing on the edges. The

 

plastic cover lifts from the lid. (See

 

illustration 8.)
