How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not cover the steam vent. Allow the cooker to finish or carefully release pressure following the manual.
- Clean valve and anti-block shield: After cooling, remove and clean the steam release valve and anti-block shield thoroughly.
- Check valve assembly: Ensure the valve cap is properly seated and not loose.
- Inspect sealing ring: Replace a hardened or stretched sealing ring that may be causing vibration and noise.
- Use correct fill and ingredients: Avoid thick sauces or high-foaming foods without following Philips guidelines, as they can cause noisy venting.
