Multicooker builds pressure but then releases steam from the safety valve or around the lid unexpectedly.

Safety first: Keep face and hands away from the lid when steam is venting. Unplug the cooker and allow it to depressurize.

• Check fill level: Ensure you are not exceeding the MAX fill line, especially with foamy foods. Reduce quantity if necessary.
• Clean anti‑block shield: Remove and thoroughly clean the anti‑block shield under the steam release valve to clear any clogging.
• Avoid thick sauces: For thick or foamy recipes, use lower pressure or open‑lid cooking modes if available.
• Inspect safety valve: If the safety valve has opened once, inspect it for deformation or contamination and replace if it no longer seals properly.
• Service PCB: If overpressure occurs repeatedly with correct usage, the pressure control on the main PCB may be faulty and should be checked by a technician.
