• When cooking with a pressurized cooking
function, the steam release switch will
automatically move to ‘Seal’ when closed.
[Figure 1.1]
Pressure Cooker Lid
Note:
• Always wait for the float valve to drop before
removing the lid.
• The pressure cooker will make a sound when
the lid is closed and opened so you know when
the lid is secured and not secured.
• When cooking with a non-pressurized
cooking function, always move the steam
release switch to ‘Vent’. [Figure 1.2]
Figure 1.1
Figure 1.3
Figure 1.4
Figure 1.5
Figure 1.2
• The lid will lock when pressure is created
and unlock when pressure is completely
released.
• When using a non-pressurized cooking
function, the lid does not lock so you
can taste test food during cooking.
• To remove the lid, twist the lid
counterclockwise to align the orange
dot on the lid with the orange dot on the
pressure cooker base and lift. [Figure 1.3]
• To close and secure the lid, align the orange
dot on the lid with the orange dot on the
pressure cooker base and twist clockwise.
[Figure 1.4]
• The lid can be placed in the lid holder located
in the back of the pressure cooker base for
convenience. [Figure 1.5]

13
The anti-block shield prevents food from
clogging the steam release pipe and helps
regulate pressure during the cooking
process. [Figure 1.6]
The sealing ring (pre-installed) allows for an
airtight seal between the inner pot and the lid.
The inner pot is made of aluminum metal
with nonstick ceramic coating.
The steam rack helps food from touching
liquid at the bottom of the inner pot. Only use
heat-proof and water-proof containers on the
steam rack and inside the pressure cooker.
• The float valve indicates if there is
pressure inside the cooker.
• Float valve up means there is pressure
inside. [Figure 1.7]
CAUTION:
• Do not fill the inner pot higher than the
“PC MAX—⁄” line (Pressure Cooking
Maximum), as marked on the inner pot.
• Do not fill the inner pot higher than the
“—½” line when cooking food such as
applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley,
oatmeal, split peas, noodles, etc. These
foods may foam, froth, or splatter, and
may clog the steam release pipe and/or
steam release valve.

Pressure Cooking Stages Releasing Pressure
There are 3 stages during pressure cooking:
1. PREHEATING:
• The display will show and
the progress bar will be lit up under
‘PREHEATING’.
• The float valve will pop up once
enough pressure has been created.
NATURAL RELEASE
The pressure cooker will release pressure
normally over time.
• Cooking stops gradually and pressure
is naturally released over time. When
natural release completes, the float valve
will drop.
• The steam release switch stays in
the ‘Seal’ position. After the float
valve has dropped, the lid will unlock
automatically.
• We recommend naturally releasing
pressure when cooking soups, stews,
chilis, pastas, oatmeal, congee, beans,
grains, and food that expand during
cooking to avoid splatter.
QUICK RELEASE
You can manually release steam by using the
steam release switch (see page 8).
• Cooking stops quickly as pressure is
released rapidly, along with hot steam.
• Once the cooking phase has finished,
move the steam release switch to the
‘Vent’ position.
Note: The time it takes for the pressure cooker
to create pressure depends on what you are
cooking, the amount of liquid, amount of food,
and temperature setting. Frozen foods will take the
longest time, while thawed food will be quicker.
Note: Cook time, pressure level, and temperature
can be adjusted at any time during cooking.
Note: Natural release can take up to 40 minutes
depending on the dish.
Note: If the pressure cooker releases too much
steam, move the steam release switch to ‘Seal’ and
allow the rest of the pressure to naturally release.
Note: Optionally, you can use Quick Release or
Timed Pressure Release to release the pressure
(see Releasing Pressure, page 14).
2. COOKING:
• Once pre-heating has finished, the
display will begin the countdown
timer. The progress bar will be lit up
under ‘COOKING’.
• The amount of pressure selected
(LOW or HIGH) is maintained during
the ‘COOKING’ phase.
3. KEEP WARM:
• Once cooking has finished, the display
will show a timer starting from ‘00:00’
and the progress bar will be lit up
under ‘KEEP WARM’.
• If you cancel the automatic Keep
Warm before starting a pressurized
cooking function, after cooking is
finished, the display will show ‘END’ and
begin to release pressure naturally until
the float valve drops (see Keep Warm,
page 24).
• If automatic Keep Warm is not
canceled before cooking, after cooking
is finished, the display will show the
count up timer starting from ‘00:00’
until you press CANCEL.
When cooking with a pressurized cooking
function (Pressure, Rice, Steam, Sterilize,
Oatmeal/Porridge, Stew/Broth, Bean/Grain,
and Meat/Poultry), you must depressurize the
pressure cooker before opening the lid.
CAUTION: Always wait until the float valve
drops before opening the lid.
There are 3 types of ways the pressure cooker
can depressurize:

15
TIMED NATURAL RELEASE
• Cooking gradually stops until the
remaining pressure is quick released.
• Keep the steam release switch in the
‘Seal’ position for a few minutes after
cooking has finished, then move the
switch to the ‘Vent’ position to quick
release the rest of the pressure.
• We recommend using timed natural
release for food such as rice and grains.
CAUTION:
• Do not place hands, face, or exposed
skin over the steam release valve.
• Do not open the lid until pressure is
finished releasing. The lid will stay locked
until the float valve drops down.
• Never force the float valve down while it
is still up.
• To avoid dangerous food splatter, always
use natural release for foods that have
a large liquid volume or high starch
content (such as soup, porridge, or fruit
jam).
Note: Once the switch is moved to ‘Vent’, the
pressure won’t be as strong as immediately quick
releasing pressure.
• We recommend quickly releasing
pressure when cooking vegetables
and seafood to make sure food is not
overcooked.
