pressurizing sequence.
How do I fix this?
properly. Simply use tongs or similar utensil and oven mitt
and carefully adjust the valve by gently tapping it side to
side until it seals properly. If the steam continues to
release, you may need to press the KEEP WARM/CANCEL
button. Follow the instructions to release all pressure
before opening the lid to remove the Pressure Limiting
Valve and check the thin wire spring on the underside of it.
Make sure it is not bent or loose. If steam still continues
to escape, the Valve may be faulty and replacement or
repair may be necessary.
6. Steam is being released
from the Red Float Valve (4)
area during the
pressurizing sequence.
How do I fix this?
This may happen during the initial start
-
up of the
Pressurizing Sequence and is normal. If it continues for
more than 10 minutes, simply use tongs or similar utensil
and oven mitt to carefully adjust it so it is seated properly.
This will help settle the lid and all the valves properly. The
pressure will quickly push up on the Float Valve and seal
properly to finish the pressurizing sequence.
7. My food is finished
cooking and all the
pressure is released, but I
cannot unlock and open my
lid. What is stuck?
Press the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button and make sure all
the pressure and steam has been completely released.
Also, make sure the Red Float Valve (4) is no longer in the
up position. It may be stuck in the UP position, simply tap
the lid gently to make it go back down. Then turn the lid
clockwise to unlock the lid. If it is still stuck, unplugging
the unit may help.
8. What is the clear plastic
part that came with my
pressure cooker?
It is the Condensation Cup: Refer to part (12) on pages 5
and 8 to attach the condensation cup to the back of the
pressure cooker.
9. I've programmed the
pressure cooker to cook but
it's just sitting there and
nothing appears to be
happening.
The unit is still building pressure. This can take between
5-
40 minutes depending on the quantity and weight of
food in the pressure cooker.
10. The unit is DEAD or has
NO POWER.
The fuse in the unit has shorted out. This happens if the
unit is cooked without enough liquid in the inner pot or if
there is too much electrical current going to the cooker.
