Multicooker heats but never reaches pressure; steam constantly escapes from the lid area.

Safety first: Allow the cooker to cool and depressurize fully before opening the lid.

• Clean sealing surfaces: Wipe the top rim of the inner pot and the lid contact area to remove food residue or oil.
• Inspect sealing ring: Remove the silicone ring and check for cracks, flattening, or stiffness. Replace if any damage is found.
• Reinstall correctly: Fit the ring evenly into the lid groove, ensuring it is not twisted and sits flush all around.
• Check for lid cracks: Examine the plastic or metal lid and inner lid plate for visible cracks or warping. Replace the lid assembly if damaged.
• Test with water: Run a short pressure cycle with only water to confirm that steam no longer escapes excessively.
