Multicooker heats but never reaches pressure; steam constantly escapes from the lid area.

Safety first: Keep hands and face away from escaping steam. Turn off and unplug the cooker before detailed inspection.

• Inspect gasket: Remove the silicone gasket from the lid. Look for cracks, flattening, or hard spots. Replace if any damage is found.
• Clean sealing surfaces: Thoroughly clean the gasket groove, lid sealing ring, and the top rim of the inner pot. Dry completely.
• Reinstall correctly: Fit the gasket evenly into the groove, ensuring it is not twisted and is fully seated all around.
• Check inner pot rim: Inspect the rim for dents or warping. Replace the pot if the rim is not perfectly round and smooth.
• Test with water: Run a short pressure cycle with water only to confirm that steam no longer leaks around the lid.
