Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when removing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and slowly turn it
counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while the pressure escapes.

When you are sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap using the cloth, turn it, and remove it.
