Steam escapes continuously from the float valve area and the float never rises.

Safety: Allow the cooker to cool and depressurize before handling the float valve.

• Clean float valve: Remove the float valve according to the manual. Clean all parts and the valve seat in the lid.
• Inspect silicone cap: Replace the small silicone seal if it is cracked, hardened, or missing.
• Reassemble correctly: Ensure the float moves freely up and down and the cap sits evenly.
