Steam leaking continuously from the steam release valve even when set to Sealing.

Safety first: Avoid placing hands over the steam release. Unplug the cooker if necessary.

• Cancel and cool: Stop the program and allow the cooker to depressurize.
• Remove steam release cap: Lift or unscrew the steam release valve cap (depending on model). Inspect for food particles or starch buildup.
• Clean valve and seat: Wash the cap and the valve seat area in warm soapy water. Use a small brush to clean the steam release pipe.
• Inspect seals: Check any silicone seals or gaskets on the steam release valve for cracks or deformation. Replace if worn.
• Reassemble and test: Reinstall the valve cap securely and run a water-only pressure test. If leakage persists, replace the steam release valve assembly.
