3.Automatic Release Method: When using the automatic release method, turn the dial on the operating valve to the steam release position (steam drawing position, fig. 7), and the steam will be released automatically. Once the steam has totally been released and the pressure indicator has dropped, go to #4 in this section (below).

4.After all the pressure has been released and the yellow pressure indicator has dropped, slide the pressure cooker lock down towards the end of the handle (fig. 5). Hold the pot handle with your left hand and slide the lid handle to the right with your right hand. Even though you have already released the pressure, never open the pressure cooker towards your face since there may be intense cooking steam still inside the unit. To avoid the risk of scalding, let the droplets of condensed water drip back from the lid into the cooker.

5.Opening during cooking. If you should need to open the pressure cooker during the cooking process, it must be depressurized first as described in this section. We recommend using the automatic release method for this purpose, as this method will cool down your pressure cooker the least, hence aiding to build pressure again faster to continue cooking. The lid will be hot, so be careful when opening and closing it; to reduce the risk of burns, only touch the handles. Remember that you are interrupting the cooking process by opening the cooker; when you continue cooking, you must adjust the remaining cooking time and set the timer accordingly.

6.Never force the cooker open. It may only be opened if the pressure indicator has dropped into its socket completely and no more steam escapes when the safety lock is moved to the open position.
