Multicooker will not build pressure; steam constantly escapes from lid area.

Safety first: Cancel the program, unplug the cooker, and allow it to depressurize fully before opening the lid.

• Inspect sealing ring: Remove the silicone ring and check for cracks, flattening, or hard spots. Replace if any damage is found.
• Clean sealing surfaces: Wipe the lid groove and the top rim of the cooker body to remove food residue or dried starch.
• Check inner lid plate: If your model has a removable inner lid, remove it and inspect for warping or cracks. Clean thoroughly and reinstall.
• Reinstall ring correctly: Fit the new or cleaned sealing ring evenly into the lid groove, ensuring it is not twisted.
• Water test: Run a short pressure cycle with water only and observe for steam leaks. If leaking persists from the lid edge, the lid may be warped.
• Replacement: Replace the silicone sealing ring first. If leaks continue, consider replacing the complete lid assembly.
