Multicooker heats but never reaches pressure; steam constantly escapes from lid area.

Safety first: Keep hands and face away from escaping steam. Unplug and allow to cool before handling the lid.

• Inspect sealing ring: Remove the silicone ring and check for cracks, hardening, or deformation. Replace if any damage is found.
• Clean lid and pot rim: Thoroughly clean the metal rim of the pot and the lid groove where the gasket sits.
• Reinstall gasket correctly: Ensure the ring is evenly seated all around the lid without twists.
• Check lid warping: Close the lid and visually inspect for gaps. A warped lid may require replacement.

Persistent leaking after gasket replacement indicates a damaged lid or hinge that should be replaced.
