PROBLEM
Is the pressure limiting
valve on the top of the lid
supposed to be loose?
When I choose a menu
button, nothing happens.
What’s wrong?
SOLUTION
If you are not cooking or using the unit,
the valve will be loose. It will turn 360
degrees and will come off if you pull on it.
Once you start using the pressure cooker
and the pressure has reached capacity
(the valve is set to “Airtight”), the valve
should be tight. Sometimes during cook-
ing and pressurizing, steam may escape
from the valve. This indicates the valve is
not seated properly. Use an oven mitt to
carefully adjust it to “Airtight”.
Make sure the pressure limiting valve
is set to “Airtight” and the lid is locked
securely. Once you have selected the
menu button, the unit will start to heat
up and build up pressure. Pressurizing
can take anywhere from five minutes up
to 30 minutes depending on the quantity
and kind of food you are cooking. When
the unit has built up enough pressure, the
display will change to a countdown timer
that displays your desired cooking time.
This is the time the unit will start cooking
the food.
