again by choosing the desired setting and adjusting the time as needed.
 I can see steam escaping from around the cover. Why?
You forgot to put the silicone sealing ring on the sealing plate or you forgot to install the sealing
ring plate in the cooker cover.
NOTICE: If either of these parts are not in place during cooking, the cooker will leak, pressure will
not build, and you may damage the unit.
 I can hear steam venting from the quick pressure release valve and pressure is not building.
Why?
You have the quick pressure release valve in the “ Venting ” position. The quick pressure release
valve must be in the “ Sealing ” position in order for pressure to build and the cooker to seal.
 Sometimes when I’m pressure cooking foods such as a roast, the time doesn’t change. Why?
The pressure cooker has not reached operating pressure. Countdown will begin as soon as the
cooker reaches operating pressure.
 Occasionally the cover is hard to open. What causes this? What should I do?
If the cover seems difficult to open, there may still be pressure in the cooker. Be sure the air
vent/cover lock has dropped before trying to open the cooker. If the cover rotates but it seems to
catch on the rim of the body, you are not lifting the cover straight up off the cooker body.
 Sometimes my food is not completely done after the recommended cooking time. When I try
to put the cover back on the cooker, so I can cook it longer, the cover will not close. How can
I get the cover closed?
Allow the pressure cooker to cool slightly. When the cooker is still hot, the blue safety floating
valve will lift, preventing you from closing the cover. Before placing the cover back on, be sure
the quick pressure release valve is in the “
Venting ” position. Once the cover is closed, move the
lever to the “ Sealing ” position.
 What can be done if the food prepared in the pressure cooker has more liquid than desired?
With the cover removed, press “ Sauté ” and allow the excess liquid to evaporate. Next time you
prepare the same recipe, you may want to use less liquid.
 I believe I am thoroughly cleaning my cooker, but sometimes I notice the odor of my last
meal remains in the cooker. Is there something I am doing wrong?
The sealing ring is made of silicone. Silicone has many wonderful properties but it does tend to
retain odors. Over time, the odor will dissipate.

they first must be soaked.
