Steam escapes from around the float valve even when it is in the up (sealed) position.

Safety first: Keep clear of escaping steam. Unplug the cooker if leakage is continuous.

• Depressurize safely: Allow pressure to release fully before disassembling the lid.
• Disassemble float valve: Remove the float valve pin and silicone gasket. Clean all parts and the valve seat thoroughly.
• Inspect gasket: Replace the gasket if it is cracked, stiff, or misshapen.
• Reassemble correctly: Ensure the float valve moves freely and the gasket is seated properly before the next use.
