Multicooker leaks steam continuously around the lid during pressure cooking and struggles to reach pressure.

Safety first: Keep hands and face away from escaping steam. Unplug the unit if leakage is severe.

• Stop and depressurize: Cancel the program and allow pressure to release naturally or via the vent, following the manual.
• Inspect sealing ring: Remove the ring and check for cracks, flattening, or stiffness. Replace if any damage is found.
• Clean contact surfaces: Thoroughly clean the lid sealing channel and the stainless rim of the inner pot.
• Reinstall ring correctly: Ensure the ring is evenly seated all the way around the lid without twists.
• Test with water: Run a short pressure cycle with water only to confirm the leak is resolved.
