"On" to the programmed cooking time. The cooking time counts down to
indicate the remaining time in minutes. During this pressurized state you
should not see any steam gushing out anywhere from the lid. However,
from time to time you may see a small smoke effect coming from the steam
release handle and occasionally a little sputtering. This is perfectly normal.
