Steam leaking continuously from around the lid rim during pressure cooking.

Safety: Keep hands and face away from escaping steam. Cancel the program if a strong leak persists.

• 1. Cancel and depressurize: Stop the program and carefully release pressure via the steam release valve.
• 2. Inspect sealing ring: Remove the ring, wash it with warm soapy water, and inspect for tears or deformation. Replace if damaged.
• 3. Clean contact surfaces: Thoroughly clean the stainless steel rim of the inner pot and the lid groove where the ring sits.
• 4. Reseat ring: Press the ring firmly and evenly into the lid groove, ensuring it is not twisted.
• 5. Test with water: Run a short water-only pressure test. If leaking continues, inspect the inner pot rim for warping and replace the pot or lid as needed.
