PREPARING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER (CONT). 

 

NOTES & TIPS #1: 

Please note that the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) will be loose when you are not using the 
unit for cooking.  It will rock slightly and will turn 360° manually.  Once the pressure 

cooker is in operation and the pressure has built up to its capacity, the Pressure Limiting 
Valve (3) will tighten but on the surface it will resemble a bobble-head, only allowing 

itself to be turned to “Exhaust”.  Once all the pressure has released, it will become loose 
again. 

 

NOTES & TIPS #2: 

During the Pressure Building process, you may notice steam or pressure escaping from 

the Pressure Limiting Valve (3).  Carefully adjust the valve by moving it gently or turning 
it side to side gently using tongs or similar utensil until it seals properly. 
If any steam is escaping around the lid, it means that the Rubber Seal Ring (18) may not 
have completed a tight seal when the lid was locked.  This can happen to brand new 
units.  Try pressing down firmly on the Lid (2).  This should allow the Rubber Seal Ring 

(18) to seal and stop any more steam from releasing.   
 

If this does not fix the issue, cancel the cooking process, release pressure manually or 
naturally, remove the lid and check the Rubber Seal Ring (18) and the Float Valve (5).  See 

page 8 on how to install the Rubber Seal Ring (18).  Note that the Float Valve (5) is 
properly assembled and you are able to pull it up and down with ease by grasping the 

Float Valve Seal Ring (16).  Reposition the lid and ensure that it is secure.  Start the 
cooking process again. 
Please note that steam escaping from the Valve (3) or around the lid is normal for the first 
5 minutes or so during the pressure building process.  If it continues beyond 10 minutes 

or steam is still releasing when the timer has begun counting down, press down firmly on 
the Lid (2) to help form a tighter seal.  If this does not fix the issue, press the KEEP 

WARM/CANCEL button and follow the instructions to release all pressure before 
removing the lid to check the Float Valve (5) or the Rubber Seal Ring (18). 

 

NOTES & TIPS #3: 

 **At any point during the selection process or the cooking process, you can press the 

CANCEL button to cancel your selection or to cancel the cooking process.
