Water or foam spurts out of the steam release valve excessively during pressure cooking.

Safety first: Keep face and hands away from the valve. Use a long utensil to adjust the valve if needed.

• Stop the program: Cancel cooking and allow pressure to drop naturally or via controlled venting as per Bosch instructions.
• Reduce fill level: For foamy foods, do not exceed the recommended maximum fill line (often 1/2 or 2/3 of pot).
• Add oil: Add a small amount of cooking oil to starchy foods to reduce foaming.
• Clean anti-block shield: Remove and clean the shield and valve thoroughly before the next use.
