Water or steam leaking from the steam release valve even when set to sealed.

Safety: Do not attempt to touch the valve while the cooker is under pressure. Wait until fully depressurized and cool.

• Remove valve cap: Lift or unscrew the steam release valve cap according to the ProfiCook design.
• Clean thoroughly: Soak the valve cap and internal parts in warm soapy water. Use a brush or toothpick to clear the vent hole and channels.
• Inspect gasket and spring: Check the small gasket or O-ring and any spring inside the valve. Replace if cracked, hardened, or missing.
• Reinstall correctly: Ensure the valve is seated properly and moves between vent and seal positions with a positive feel.
• Test: Run a short pressure cycle with water. If steam still leaks from the valve when sealed, replace the entire steam release valve assembly.
