Steam or liquid sprays from the steam release valve continuously during pressure cooking.

Safety first: Do not place your hand over the steam vent. Turn off and unplug the cooker and allow pressure to drop before handling the valve.

• Verify valve position: Ensure the steam release valve is set to Seal, not Vent.
• Clean valve: Once cooled and depressurized, remove the valve cap and wash it thoroughly. Use a small brush to clean the vent passage.
• Inspect silicone parts: Check any silicone cap or seal on the valve for cracks or deformation. Replace if damaged.
• Reassemble and test: Reinstall the valve securely and run a short water-only pressure test to confirm proper sealing.
