Multicooker leaks steam continuously around the lid during pressure cooking and never reaches full pressure.

Safety first: Do not touch escaping steam. Turn off and unplug the cooker, then allow pressure to drop naturally before opening.

• Inspect sealing ring: Remove the silicone sealing ring from the lid. Check for cracks, hardening, or deformation. Replace if any damage is found.
• Clean contact surfaces: Thoroughly clean the groove where the ring sits, the lid metal, and the rim of the inner pot. Even small food particles can prevent a proper seal.
• Reinstall ring correctly: Fit the new or cleaned ring evenly into the lid groove, ensuring it is not twisted.
• Check lid alignment: Close the lid and verify that the locking handle fully engages. Adjust hinge screws if the lid appears skewed.

After replacing or reseating the sealing ring, perform a water-only pressure test to confirm that steam no longer escapes around the lid.
