Excessive steam or water leaks from around the lid during pressure cooking.

Safety: Do not place your face or hands over the lid while steam is escaping. Turn off and allow pressure to drop naturally.

• Clean sealing surfaces: After cooling, remove the inner pot and gasket. Wipe the lid groove and cooker rim to remove food residue.
• Inspect gasket condition: Stretch the gasket gently and look for small tears, flattening, or stiffness. Replace if any damage is found.
• Reinstall gasket correctly: Fit the gasket evenly into the lid groove, ensuring it is not twisted. Press it fully into place all around.
• Check lid ring and screws: On some Sencor models, the metal lid ring is held by screws. Tighten any loose screws evenly to maintain uniform pressure.
• Replace parts: If the lid is cracked or deformed, replace the complete lid assembly. Always use genuine Sencor gasket sets.
