Float valve does not rise during pressure cooking; cooker vents steam but never seals.

Safety: Keep hands away from hot steam. Allow cooling before disassembly.

• Clean float valve: Remove the float valve pin and silicone cap according to the manual. Clean all parts and the valve hole with warm soapy water.
• Inspect silicone cap: Replace the cap if it is cracked, hardened, or misshapen.
• Reassemble correctly: Ensure the float valve is installed in the correct orientation and moves freely up and down.
• Check liquid level: Confirm there is enough liquid to generate sufficient steam for pressure.

If the float still fails to rise despite proper cleaning and liquid, the lid or valve seat may be damaged and require replacement.
