Removing the lid
Only when the pressure cooking cycle is
finished, will the pressure cooker
automatically switch to the Keep Warm
function. You may now choose to release
the pressure in one of three ways - Natural
Pressure Release, Quick Pressure Release
or a combination of both. The choice will
be determined by the particular food being
cooked and instructions in the recipe. If
adapting your own recipe for pressure
cooking, find a similar recipe in our booklet
and use that as a guide.
Natural Pressure Release - After pressure
cooking, leave the pressure cooker on
Keep Warm. The pressure will begin to
drop - time for the pressure to drop depends
on the amount of liquid in the pressure
cooker and the length of time that the
pressure was maintained. Natural Pressure
Release will take from 10 to 30 minutes.
During this time cooking continues. This
method is recommended for certain cuts
of meat and some desserts. When pressure
is fully released the float (pressure indicator)
will drop and the lid will unlock to open.
Quick Pressure Release - After pressure
cooking you will hear a series of beeps
indicating the cooking process is finished.
Turn the pressure cooker off and rotate the
handle of the pressure limit valve clockwise
until the pressure release indicator lines
up with the mark on lid (see figure 7). Do
not touch with your hands. Use tongs or
another tool.
, the
The steam will begin to release through
the valve. Keep your face and hands clear
of the steam as it is released. Do not
release pressure under hanging cupboards,
which can be damaged by steam. When
pressure is fully released, the red float will
drop and the lid will unlock to open. Quick
Pressure Release stops pressure cooking
immediately. If further cooking is necessary,
the pressure cooker may be returned to
pressure, or the food may be further cooked
on the Simmer setting.

Questions and answers
**** does not come up to pressure
The AEG Precision EPC 6000 may not come up to pressure due to several reasons:
1. Blocked Float Valve or Pressure Release Devices – Ensure they are not clogged with food debris.
2. Improper Sealing – Check that the lid is properly closed and the sealing ring is correctly positioned.
3. Insufficient Liquid – The pressure cooker requires enough liquid to generate steam and build pressure.
4. Food Causing Foam or Clogs – Certain foods like oatmeal, split peas, and pasta can froth and block pressure release devices.
5. Heating Plate Issues – Keep the heating plate clean to ensure proper heat transfer.
6. Incorrect Power Supply – Ensure the cooker is plugged into a proper power source with the correct voltage.
If the issue persists, refer to the operating instructions for troubleshooting.

My pressure cooker no reading air is just coming out on too
Your AEG Precision EPC 6000 pressure cooker may be releasing steam without building pressure due to the following reasons:
1. Improper Sealing – Ensure the lid is properly closed and sealed. The sealing ring should be correctly positioned and undamaged.
2. Overfilled Pot – The total volume of food and liquid must not exceed 60% of the pot’s capacity (50% for dried vegetables, beans, or grains).
3. Pressure Release Valve Issue – Check if the pressure release valve is set correctly and not stuck in the open position.
4. Damaged or Misaligned Gasket – Inspect the gasket for wear, cracks, or incorrect placement, as it may prevent pressure buildup.
5. Excessive Steam from Browning/Sautéing – If you recently used the browning or sauté function, switch off the cooker and wait about 1.5 minutes before selecting the pressure function.
Ensure all components are properly set up before trying again.
