1. Knob does not return to 0

Reason:

2. Electronic pressure cooker lid is open, there is a phenomenon of deflation

Reason:

During the cooking process with an electric pressure cooker, steam may escape from the lid due to various reasons such as the incorrect installation of the rubber gasket, food clinging to the lid or side of the pot, or failure to properly close the lid.

How to fix:

If you encounter this situation, unplug the power plug and wait for the pressure cooker to cool down. Then, check if the rubber gasket is properly fitted and clean any obstructions on the lid before closing it.

3. Pot lid does not open

Reason:

If you are unable to open the lid of the pressure cooker even after it has cooled down and the valve has finished draining, it may be due to the steam outlet valve of the dirty pot not lowering when the pressure is released.

How to fix:

In this case, avoid forcefully opening the lid as it may still contain pressure. Instead, use a thin, long rod to gently push the valve down and then open the lid normally.

4. Pressure cooker lid hard to close

Reason:

If the lid of the pressure cooker is difficult to close, it may be due to the incorrect position of the rubber sealing ring or the push rod being stuck by the pressure relief valve.

How to fix:

Gently push the lever back and forth until it works properly. Then, remove the sealing ring and reinstall it correctly to make closing the lid easier and safer.

5. Pressure relief valve does not rise

Reason:

If the pressure relief valve does not rise even when there is food and water in the pot, it may be because the water is not enough for the valve to float or the lid is not properly sealed.

How to fix:

If the relief valve does not rise, add more food and water until the valve floats. If the lid is not properly sealed, bring the pot to the place of purchase for warranty or to a reputable center for repair.

6. Open pressure relief valve, quick release of steam

Reason:

If you hear a loud steam release from the steam outlet valve during the use of the pressure cooker, it may be due to the rubber sealing ring being stuck, improperly fitted, or damaged, resulting in an open valve phenomenon.

How to fix:

Remove the sealing ring from the lid, clean any food residues, and reinstall it properly. If the gasket is damaged and cannot be reinstalled, replace it with a new one.
