Helpful Hints
No steam comes out of the Steam Vent Tube.
Solution: ◆ The Pressure Cooker Lid may not be tightly clamped
onto the Pan.
◆ Check to make sure that the Gasket is in place under the
Steam Vents all the way around the Lid.
◆ Make sure that the Pressure Regulator Valve with Steam
Vent Tube, Pressure Indicator Safety Valve with Pressure
Lift Pin, or Safety Valves do not have any food clogging
the openings.
◆ At least 1 cup of water or other liquid must be used when
pressure cooking foods.
The Pressure Cooker Lid cannot be opened.
Solution: ◆ All the pressure that had built up inside the Pressure
Cooker during cooking must be let out through the Steam
Vent Tube and the Pressure Indicator Safety Valve with
Pressure Lift Pin before the Lid can be opened.
◆ Turn the Variable Temperature/Pressure Control to
WARMING and unplug the unit. The POWER Indicator
Light will turn off. Wait until the pressure has totally been
released from the Pressure Regulator Valve and the
Pressure Lift Pin has dropped.
All the water evaporated from the Pressure Cooker before the food was done.
Solution: ◆ The Variable Temperature/Pressure Control may have
been set on too high during pressure cooking and the
water turned to steam too fast.
◆ Not enough water was placed into the Pressure Cooker at
the start of the cooking process.
◆ For pressure cooking, add at least 1 to 2-1/2 cups of liquid
to make sure you have enough liquid to cook until done.
