How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use caution around hot surfaces and steam.

Steps:

  • Check sealing ring seating: Remove and refit the silicone sealing ring, ensuring it is fully pressed into the lid groove.
  • Inspect for cracks: Examine the ring for splits or hard spots. Replace if any damage is found.
  • Empty condensation collector: Many Russell Hobbs multicookers have a small condensation cup on the side or back. Remove, empty, and clean it, ensuring it is correctly reinstalled.
  • Wipe lid rim: Before cooking, wipe the pot rim and lid mating surface dry to improve sealing.
