Does clicking "Cancel" do anything?

It's hot but not responding. I assume I will have to wait until it cools.

What is the order to start the pressure cooking feature?

There are a few steps
As you've asked us, here are the steps to turn your pressure cooker:
1. Check the bottom of the pot so it doesn't have anything that might be blocking the steam, then put your food into it
2. You have to make sure you've got enough liquid in the pressure cooker
3. Make sure that your sealing clean is clean and properly installed; your float valve is clean and is able to go up and down; your steam-release handle is clean and pointing to the sealing position
4. Press the "MEAT | STEW" button
5. Now, it's just a matter of time; you should see the steam coming out of the pot

Thanks so much if you could do that for me. I checked my electrical outlets and they are working.

That would be great. I haven't used it in a while and I guess I've forgotten how to do it.
