3. Heat the cooker on high heat. The pressure indicator will rise when pressure begins to build.
4. Once the desired pressure is reached (indicated by the pressure regulator valve releasing a steady stream of steam or a visual indicator), reduce the heat to maintain the pressure.
5. Begin timing your cooking according to your recipe.

5.4. RilaxxasinPressjoni g

There are generally three methods to release pressure:

• Rilaxx Naturali: Remove the cooker from heat and allow it to cool down naturally. Pressure will gradually decrease. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from continued cooking, like stews or roasts.
• Quick Release (Manual Release): Carefully turn the pressure regulator valve to the steam release position. Steam will rapidly escape. Use caution as hot steam will be released. This method is suitable for delicate foods like vegetables.
• Cold Water Release (for specific models/situations, consult recipe): For some models, you can run cold water over the lid (avoiding the valve) to cool it down rapidly. Only do this if explicitly stated as safe for your model.

Wait until the pressure indicator has fully dropped before attempting to open the lid.
