Keep Warm
Press the Sıcak Tutma (Keep Warm) button before starting the cooking to automatically start the Keep Warm function when coaking has finished.

PRESSURE RELEASE

There are two pressure-release methods: quick release and natural release. The method that you should use depends on your recipe. Most recipes will indicate which method to use.

Quick-Release Method
This method releases pressure quickly in the form of steam. When cooking is complete, turn the steam release handle to the venting position to release the pressure. Hat steam will be released through the vent, so be sure to use extreme caution by wearing protective gloves and keeping your hands, face, and skin away from the valve to avoid the risk of burns. When all of the steam has been released and the float valve has dropped, carefully open the lid so that it is pointing away from you, and be cautious of any lingering steam, oil, or water.

Natural-Release Method
This method takes much more time than the quick-release method. Use this method far foods with a large volume of liquid, starch content, or ingredients that may produce foam, such as soup, pasta, oatmeal, and beans, to prevent liquid from splattering aut. When cooking is complete, do not turn the steam release handle. Rather, let the pressure release on its own. This could take 10 to 40 minutes or lenger. You can leave the cooker on the Keep Warm setting, or you can turn it off so the contents will cool more quickly. After about 10 to 15 minutes have passed, you can turn the steam release handle to the vent ing position to release pressure. Generally, this will not affect the ingredients. When the float valve has dropped, carefully open the lid so that it is pointing away from you.

CAUTION:

• Never block the steam release vent or open the lid while the cooker is in operation or when it is releasing steam.
• Keep your hands, face, and skin away from the steam release vent while the cooker is in operation or when it is releasing steam.
•  Never touch the lid or any metal parts of the appliance unless you are wearing mitts/gloves.
• Use utensils or wear protective mitts/gloves when using the quick-release method.
• See the “Safety lnstructions” section far more information on safety precautions to observe.
