The unit is displaying "PrE" while pressurizing.
"PrE" on the screen indicates that the unit is heating up and pressurizing. This message will
remain on the screen until the unit is fully preheated or pressurized, at which point the timer
will begin counting down.
When batch cooking on any function, allow the unit to cool down before restarting. We
recommend waiting 2 minutes with the unit off and lid open before beginning the next cook
cycle. This ensures that each batch cooks consistently.
Why is the lid locked after the unit has depressurized and been on Keep Warm for extended
period of time?
Turn off the unit, open the pressure release valve, and wait a few minutes for the unit to
depressurize and cool down. Note: You will not be able to move the SmartLid Slider if the unit
has not fully depressurized. Please allow for any and all pressure to be released, at which time
the display will show "OPN LID" or "OPN," indicating you can now move the SmartLid Slider to
SteamCrisp (position 2) or Air Fry/Stovetop (position 3) to unlock the lid.
How do I Quick Release and Natural Release pressure from the unit?
Quick Pressure Release:
Use ONLY if your recipe calls for it. When pressure cooking is complete and the KEEP WARM
light comes on, turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position to release the steam. Be
careful and do not place your hand over the vent as it releases steam. Steam release will be
accompanied by an audible hiss. When pressure release is complete, the float valve will drop
down and you will be able to open the lid. The lid will remain locked until the float valve has
fully dropped. Some steam will remain in the unit after pressure release and will escape when
the lid is opened. Lift and tilt the pressure lid away from you, making sure no condensation
drips into the cooker base.
Natural Pressure Release:
When pressure cooking is complete, pressure will naturally release from the unit as it cools
down. This can take up to 20 minutes or more, depending on the amount of liquid and food in
the pot. During this time, the unit will switch to Keep Warm mode. Press the KEEP WARM
button if you would like to turn Keep Warm mode off. When natural pressure release is
complete, the float valve will drop down and you will be able to open the lid. The lid will remain
locked until the float valve has fully dropped.
How do I Quick Release, Delayed Release, and Natural Release pressure from the unit?
The unit will default to NATURAL RELEASE. Use the dial to select NATURAL RELEASE, QUICK
RELEASE, or DELAYED RELEASE.
Quick Pressure Release:
Use ONLY if your recipe calls for it. When pressure cooking is complete and you've selected
QUICK RELEASE, the unit will automatically release steam. Be careful and do not place your
hand over the vent as it releases steam. Steam release will be accompanied by an audible hiss.
The unit will display "OPN Lid" when all steam has been released. This is an indication that you
can move the SmartLid Slider to either SteamCrisp or Air Fry/Stovetop to unlock the lid. Please
note that some steam will remain in the unit after pressure release and will escape when the lid
is opened.
Delayed Release:
Delayed release defaults to 10 minutes. If you are using Delayed Release and want to adjust the
time, press the RELEASE PRESSURE button to set the desired time.
Natural Pressure Release:
When pressure cooking is complete, pressure will naturally release from the unit as it cools
down. This can take up to 20 minutes or more, depending on the amount of liquid and food in
the pot. During this time, the unit will switch to Keep Warm mode. Press the KEEP WARM
button if you would like to turn Keep Warm mode off. When natural pressure release is
complete, the display will show "OPN Lid".
Can I move the unit after pressure cooking has started?
No, once pressure cooking has started, we do not recommend moving the unit. Once the unit
has completed pressure cooking, allow the unit to cool completely before handling or storing.
Can I open the pressure lid at any time during cooking?
No, the unit will lock when the SmartLid Slider is in the Pressure as a safety measure. You will
not be able to move the SmartLid Slider until all pressure is released, the float valve drops, and
the display shows "OPN Lid". You then will be able to move the SmartLid Slider to SteamCrisp or
Air Fry/Stovetop to unlock the lid.
Why is the pressure release valve loose?
The pressure release valve's loose fit is intentional; it enables a quick and easy transition
between SEAL and VENT and helps regulate pressure by releasing small amounts of steam
during cooking to ensure great results. Make sure it is turned as far as possible toward the SEAL
position when pressure cooking and as far as possible toward the VENT position when quick
releasing steam.
If the pressure release valve is not attached to the pressure lid, simply place the valve on the
silver post in the middle of the circular indent on the lid and press down firmly. Note that while
the valve will be loose-fitting, it will be securely attached to the unit.
How do I open the lid after pressure cooking cycle is coHow long does the unit take to
depressurize?
Quick pressure release takes roughly 2 minutes. Natural pressure release can take up to 20
minutes or more, depending on the type of food and/or the amount of liquid and food in the
pot.
mplete?
When the unit is done releasing steam through the pressure release valve and your display
shows "OPN LID", you can move the SmartLid Slider to the SteamCrisp or Air Fry/Stovetop
position to unlock the lid.
