The pan doesn’t slide into my Electric Pressure Cooker
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
Pan does not slide into
the appliance properly
There is too much food in the
basket.

indicator.

White smoke is coming out of my Electric Pressure Cooker
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
White smoke comes
out of the appliance
The food being cooked is too
greasy.
When frying greasy food, a large
amount of oil will leak into the pan.
The oil produces white smoke & the
pan may heat up more than usual. This
will not affect the appliance or the end
result.
The pan contains greasy
residue from a previous use.
White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the pan. Make sure you
clean the pan properly after each use.
My food isn’t cooking correctly
Problem
Possible cause
Solution
Food is undercooked
There is too much food in the
basket.
Put smaller batches of food in the
basket. Smaller batches fry more
evenly.
The cooking temperature too
low.
Set the temperature to the required
temperature setting.
Food is cooked
unevenly
Certain types of food require
shaking halfway through the
preparation time.
Food that lies on top of or across each
other (e.g., fries) need to be shaken
halfway through the preparation time.
