How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not touch the lid while under pressure. Wait until cooking is complete and pressure is released.

  • Tighten valve cap: Once cool, ensure the steam release valve cap is properly seated and not wobbling.
  • Check inner lid screws: Remove the inner lid plate and tighten all mounting screws.
  • Inspect float valve: Confirm the float valve and its silicone cap are correctly installed and not excessively loose.
  • Secure condensation cup: Make sure the condensation collector is fully clipped into place.

Replace any worn seals or damaged valve components to eliminate rattling and ensure safe operation.
