the removable Cooking Pot. This is normal. Allow to 

cool, and then dry using kitchen cloth.

2.   Always make sure that each component (pot, valves, 

gasket, etc.) is completely dry before you put back into 

the Multi-Cooker.

undercooked

Make sure you selected the proper cooking 
setting

Make sure the Lid is properly placed and 
locked, and that Steam Release Valve in “Seal” 
(closed) position.

Check the recipe to see that the proper 
pressure, temperature, and time selection 
were made

Be sure the power was not interrupted

Make sure the Cooking Pot has enough liquid 
to create desired steam and build pressure. 
Minimum of 8oz of liquid should be used

necessary. However, if desired a time can be 
selected.
