FAQ (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS) cont.

5) Steam is being released from the Pressure Limiting Valve during the pressurizing

sequence. How do I fix this?

- The Valve may not be positioned properly. Simply use tongs or similar utensil or oven mitt

and carefully adjust it so it is seated properly. If the steam continues to release, you may

need to Cancel all the functions. Exhaust any remaining pressure and steam. Remove

the Pressure Limiting Valve and check the thin wire spring on the underside of it. Make

sure it is not bent or loose. If steam still continues to escape, the Valve may be faulty and

replacement or repair may be necessary. Please contact the manufacturer.

6) Pressurized Steam is being quietly released from the Floating Valve area during the

pressurizing sequence. How do I fix this?

- This may happen during the initial start-up of the Pressurizing Sequence. Simply use

tongs or similar utensil or oven mitt and carefully adjust it so it is seated properly. This

will help settle the lid and all the valves properly. The pressure will quickly push up on the

Floating Valve and seal it properly then finish the pressurizing sequence.

7) My food is finished cooking and all the pressure is released, but I cannot unlock and

open my lid. What is stuck?

- Make sure all the pressure and steam has completely been released. Make sure the

small Floating Valve is no longer in the up position. It may be stuck in the UP position,

simply tap the lid slightly to make it go back down. Then turn the lid clockwise to unlock

the lid. If it is still stuck, unplugging the unit may help.
