2. Asegure la tapa: Place the lid onto the base, ensuring the gasket is correctly positioned. Align the lid with the base and lock the handles or twist the lid until it clicks into place. The pressure indicator valve should be in the down position.

5. Cocina completa: Once cooking is finished, carefully remove the pressure cooker from the microwave using oven mitts.

5.2 Liberación de presión

Hay dos métodos principales para releasing presión:

• Liberación natural: Allow the pressure cooker to sit undisturbed for 5-15 minutes (or as specified by your recipe) after cooking. The pressure indicator valve will drop on its own as the pressure naturally dissipates. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from continued cooking or for foamy foods.
• Liberación rápida: If your model features a manual pressure release valve, carefully activate it to release steam. Dirija siempre el vapor lejos de la cara y las manos. Only use quick release if your recipe specifically calls for it and the food type is suitable.

Importante: Do not attempt to open the lid until the pressure indicator valve has fully dropped and all internal pressure has been released. Forcing the lid open can cause serious injury.
