Steam or water leaking from around the lid during cooking.

Safety first: Keep hands away from escaping steam. Turn off and unplug the cooker if leakage is severe.

• Inspect gasket: Remove the silicone lid gasket and check for cracks, flattening, or stiffness. Replace if any damage is found.
• Clean sealing surfaces: Thoroughly clean the lid groove, gasket, and pot rim. Dry completely before reassembly.
• Check lid alignment: Ensure the lid closes evenly and the hinge is not bent. Adjust hinge screws if the lid is skewed.
• Replace lid assembly: If the metal rim is dented or warped, replace the complete lid assembly.
