Pressure release before sterilize?

I need a fast answer. My manual to my 75x AA sterilizer says to let the valve stay open for 5 minutes to let air escape. Then to close it until it reaches 17 psi. The once it's there, open it again for 3 to 5 minutes. After that it tells you to start the clock.
Will this be a bad idea ?
What should I do?

I let mine vent for 5 to 10 minutes during warm up , then bring up my psi not re venting. And let it fall natural once finished, never vent it as the AA instructions say

You should be fine as long as you let it vent initially for a few minutes.
The idea is to get all the air out and just have steam.

Do not vent the second time. Your jars will crack. Vent for 5 minutes or so, close the valve and wait till you get to pressure. Turn your heat down to stabilize and wait.

Exactly. I was just making sure. I like to do things right and not waste time. Thanks.
