Steam or liquid leaks from around the lid edges during pressure cooking.

Safety first: Cancel the program and release pressure according to the manual before opening the lid.

• Reseat gasket: After cooling, remove and reinstall the gasket, ensuring it is fully pressed into the lid groove with no twists.
• Check lid alignment: Close the lid and verify that it sits evenly all around. If one side is higher, the hinge or latch may be misaligned.
• Inspect for warping: Look along the lid edge for bends or warps. A significantly warped lid may need replacement.
• When to call a technician: If leaks persist with a new gasket and proper alignment, have the lid assembly inspected and possibly replaced.
