Steam or water leaks from around the lid during pressure cooking; cooker struggles to reach pressure.

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

• Clean sealing surfaces: Remove the gasket and clean both the gasket and the lid groove thoroughly. Wipe the top rim of the inner pot.
• Inspect gasket: Look for cracks, flattening, or hard spots. Replace with a genuine Hisense lid gasket if any damage is found.
• Check lid alignment: Ensure the lid closes evenly and the hinge is not bent.
• Water-only test: Run a short pressure cycle with water only to confirm the leak is resolved.
