PROBLEM:
There is no steam released by the
operating valve.
REASON:
1. The pressure cooker is not properly
locked.
2. There is not enough liquid in the
cooker.
3. The rubber gasket is not in place, or is
dirty or worn.
4. The burner heat is not high enough.
5. The valve is dirty and/or obstructed.
SOLUTION:
1. Slide the pressure lock up towards the
lid.
2. Make sure there is enough liquid.
3. Make sure the rubber gasket is clean
and well positioned before using the
pressure cooker. After continued use,
the rubber gasket will begin to wear
and should be replaced approximately
once a year or more often if the
pressure cooker is used frequently.
4. Turn up the heat until a gentle, steady
stream of steam is released from the
operating valve.
5. The valve can become dirty when
cooking foods that have a tendency to
foam, such as dried beans. Clean the
valve periodically.
PROBLEM:
Pressure does not build-up.
REASON:
1. Not enough liquid.
2. The pressure cooker was not properly
closed.
3. The valve is dirty and/or obstructed.
4. The rubber gasket is not in place, or is
dirty or worn.
SOLUTION:
1. Always use the appropriate amount of
liquid called for in the recipe. This
amount should never be less than 1/2
cup. However, never fill the pressure
cooker more than half full with liquids.
2. Following the instructions given in this
manual, close the pressure cooker so
that a tight seal is created, which will
allow for adequate pressure build-up.
3. The valve can become dirty when
cooking foods that have a tendency to
foam, such as dried beans. Clean the
valve periodically.
4. Make sure the rubber gasket is clean
and well positioned before using the
pressure cooker. After continued use,
the rubber gasket will begin to wear
and should be replaced approximately
once a year or more often if the
pressure cooker is used frequently.
PROBLEM:
1. A gentle, steady stream of steam is released
from the operating valve and small drops of
water condensation collect on the lid.
2. A large, continuous amount of steam is
escaping from the operating valve with
or without drops of condensation.
REASON:
1. When used properly, the operating
valve will release a gentle steady
stream of steam as well as some drops
of condensed water on the lid.
2. a) The burner heat is too high.
b) The valve is dirty.
c) The safety valve is malfunctioning.
SOLUTION:
1. Normal operation.
2. a) Lower the heat so that only a gentle,
steady stream of steam is released.
b) Check the valve to see if there are
any remaining food particles.
c) The safety valve must be replaced.
