If your pressure cooker is not performing as it should, turn off the heat source immediately, taking special
care to protect your hands and yourself.
Do not move the pressure cooker. Leave it to cool naturally and wait until all the pressure has been released
completely, then open the lid safely and examine and take appropriate actions.
The table below details some common problems and how to solve them.
Problem Cause Solution
The pressure cooker
does not come to
pressure. The red
pressure indicator
valve is not rising.
The heat is too low. Increase the heat.
No liquid. Add liquid.
The pressure regulator is incorrectly
positioned.
Reposition the regulator and close it
correctly.
The pressure cooker lid is closed
incorrectly.
Check the lid and close it correctly.
The steam release pipe is blocked. Check and clean the steam pipe.
The sealing ring needs changing. Replace the sealing ring.

under the cover
The lid is closed incorrectly.

its end of life or refer to the warranty.
The lid can not be
opened.
There is still pressure inside the
pressure cooker.
Release the pressure correctly and
completely. Do not force open the lid.
Due to high temperature, the sealing
ring might have melted.
The lid can then only be removed
by a qualified technician (This is not
covered by the warranty).
Steam and liquid
suddenly escape from
the pressure regulator
or from under the lid.
The pressure cooker safety devices
have operated or the pressure
regulator is blocked.
Turn off the heat and allow the
pressure cooker to cool and the
