Loud banging or popping sounds during heating or pressure cooking.

Safety first: Do not open the lid while under pressure. Wait until cooking is complete and pressure is released.

• Inspect pot bottom: After cooling, remove the inner pot and check for warping or dents. Replace if not perfectly flat.
• Clean heating plate: Remove any debris or burnt food from the heating plate and central sensor area.
• Reduce heat or pressure: For recipes that cause violent boiling, try a lower pressure setting or a non-pressure program.
• Service if persistent: If banging continues with a new pot and clean plate, the weight sensor or mounting springs may be loose and require adjustment.
