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

Safety first: Keep hands and face away from escaping steam. Allow the cooker to cool and depressurize before disassembly.

Steps to fix:

• Clean sealing surfaces: Remove the inner pot and wipe the top rim of the pot and the stainless-steel lid ring with a damp cloth to remove food residue.
• Inspect sealing ring: Remove the silicone ring from the lid. Check for cracks, flattening, or hard spots. If more than 1–2 years old or visibly damaged, replace it.
• Refit correctly: Ensure the new or cleaned ring is fully seated in its groove all the way around, with no twists.
• Check float valve and cap: Remove the float valve pin and silicone cap. Clean both parts and the valve hole. Replace the silicone cap if it is split or hardened.
• Test with water: Run a short pressure program with only water. If steam no longer leaks and the float rises, the issue is resolved.

Note: Always use genuine Morphy Richards sealing rings for correct fit and safety.
