Excessive steam and liquid spurting from steam release valve during pressure cooking.

Safety first: Keep hands and face away from the steam vent. Allow pressure to drop safely before opening.

• Stop the program: Cancel cooking and allow pressure to release naturally or carefully use quick release as per manual.
• Reduce fill level: Ensure the pot is not filled above the recommended line, especially for beans, grains, and starchy foods.
• Add oil or fat: For foamy foods, add a small amount of cooking oil to reduce foaming.
• Clean vent parts: Remove and wash the steam release valve and anti-block shield thoroughly to clear any food residue.
• Re-test with water: Run a short pressure cycle with water only to confirm normal vent behavior.
