of food or high starch foods, such as congee or soups. It could
cause food to splatter from the exhaust valve.

5 Wipe the external surface of the inner pot to remove spills,
and place the inner pot into the cooker.
6 Turn the inner pot from left to right to ensure good contact with
the heating plate.
7 Turn the exhaust valve to the sealing position. In this position,
the electric pressure cooker maintains a sealed state of pressure.
To manually release the pressure, turn the exhaust valve handle to
the exhaust position. The electric pressure cooker then allows
steam to escape.

Steam mode is designed to steam vegetables, seafood or reheat food.
When steaming vegetables and seafood, using the “natural release”
method for releasing steam will most likely overcook the food. You will
need to use the “quick release” method to release the steam as soon
as the cooking time is reached. See All about the lid for details.
The steam function heats at full power constantly. This may burn food
that is in direct contact with the bottom of the inner pot. Use the
container for steaming on top of the wire rack provided, inside the
inner pot.
