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

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

• Inspect and clean: Remove the sealing ring and wash it with warm soapy water. Clean the lid groove and the stainless-steel rim of the inner pot.
• Check for damage: Look for cuts, flat spots, or stretched areas on the silicone ring. Replace if any damage is found.
• Reinstall correctly: Fit the ring evenly into the lid groove, ensuring it is not twisted.
• Test with water: Run a short pressure program with only water. If steam still leaks around the lid, the ring or lid may be deformed.

Persistent leakage after fitting a new ring suggests the lid assembly is warped and may need replacement.
