Troubleshooting
Pressure cooker not building pressure
Ensure the lid is securely locked with an audible click. Check that the rubber gasket is properly seated and free from debris. Verify that the operating valve is clear and not blocked.
Steam leaking from the lid edge
Inspect the rubber gasket for damage or wear; replace if necessary. Ensure the lid is fully closed and locked. Check for food debris around the rim of the pot and lid.
Difficulty opening the lid after cooking
Ensure all pressure has been released from the cooker. Wait for the pressure indicator to drop completely before attempting to unlock. Never force the lid open if pressure is still present.
Food burning or sticking to the bottom
Reduce heat slightly after pressure is reached. Ensure there is sufficient liquid in the pot to create steam. Stir food occasionally if appropriate for the recipe before sealing.
