How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep clear of the steam vent. Allow the cooker to finish or cancel and fully depressurize before disassembly.
- Clean vent components: Remove the steam cap, steam release valve, and float valve as per the manual. Clean all parts thoroughly and ensure the valve seats are smooth and free of residue.
- Inspect seals: Check small silicone seals and grommets for cracks or deformation. Replace any that are worn.
- Reassemble correctly: Follow the Tiger manual to ensure all parts are installed in the correct order and orientation.
- Retest with water: Run a pressure cycle with only water to confirm that pressure builds and steam release is intermittent rather than continuous.
