12. Troubleshooting
If you are unsure about using your pressure cooker or the safety
devices, do not use it and contact your retailer or DEMEYERE (see section 14).
Is the pressure cooker leaking?
- Check that the rubber gasket is properly located (section 8);
- Lubricate the gasket lightly with cooking/vegetable oil or moisten with a little
water;
- Or, if necessary, replace.
If effort is required to open or close the lid even after the gasket has been
lubricated with a little cooking oil, then the lid or pan may be deformed. The pressure
cooker must be taken to Demeyere for inspection (see section 14).
