Multicooker takes an unusually long time to come up to pressure.

Safety: Use caution when handling hot steam and surfaces.

• Check sealing ring and valves: Ensure the sealing ring is in good condition and the steam release valve is set to sealing with no visible leaks.
• Adjust fill level: Avoid filling above the recommended maximum for pressure cooking. Too much liquid increases heat-up time.
• Preheat ingredients: Thaw frozen foods and use warm liquids when possible to reduce preheat time.
• Test heating performance: If pressure build remains very slow, test the heating element and sensors as described in underheating diagnostics and replace faulty parts.
