Be sure to press the pressure release button before attempting to open the lid.WARNING: Do not release steam manually with recipes containing liquid such as soups or stews. If the cycle has not been completed, press the Keep Warm/ Cancel button and unplug the cooker to allow the pressure to release naturally.
