E13 error appears during pressure cooking; cooker may stop and release steam.

Safety first: Allow the cooker to cool and fully depressurize before removing lid components.

• Clean steam release system: Remove the steam release valve, anti-block shield, and float valve. Soak in warm soapy water and scrub gently with a soft brush.
• Check float valve movement: Ensure the float valve moves freely up and down and that its silicone cap is not swollen or damaged.
• Avoid over-thick sauces: For thick sauces or stews, use natural release or stir in thickeners after pressure cooking to reduce vent clogging.

When to call a technician: If E13 persists with a clean vent path, the pressure sensor or firmware may be at fault and should be evaluated by an authorized service center.
