Food is consistently undercooked or overcooked compared to recipe times.

Safety first: Always verify that meats and other critical foods reach safe internal temperatures.

• Test with water: Run a pressure cycle with a measured amount of water and time how long it takes to reach and maintain pressure. Compare to the manual's expectations.
• Adjust recipes: If the cooker runs hotter, reduce cook times slightly. If cooler, increase times.
• Check pot and gasket: Ensure the inner pot and lid gasket are in good condition and original to the unit.
• Sensor replacement: If performance is erratic, consider replacing the bottom temperature sensor or having the unit serviced.
