Food is consistently overcooked or mushy when using automatic programs.

Safety first: Use caution when releasing pressure to avoid burns.

• Adjust recipes: Reduce cook time slightly or use less liquid for certain foods, within safe limits.
• Use quick release: For delicate foods, use quick pressure release instead of natural release to shorten total cooking time.
• Test with water: Run a pressure cycle with water and time how long it maintains pressure. If it seems excessively long or hot, sensor calibration may be off.
• Service if needed: If overcooking occurs even with recipe adjustments, have the sensors and control board checked.
