CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE TROUBLESHOOTING/FAQS
• Q: What is pressure cooking
A: It is a method of cooking in a sealed appliance that does not allow steam to escape below
a preset pressure level. Because the boiling point of water increases as the pressure increases,
the pressure built up inside the Pressure Cooker allows the liquid in the cooking pot to rise to a
higher temperature before boiling, keeping moisture locked in food.
• Q: Why does the lid not close?
A: The gasket (sealing ring) may not be properly secured to the Pressure Cooker lid. Check
that the gasket is secured and not damaged in any way.
• Q: Why is the red floating valve stuck in the popped-up position?
A: Sometimes food can cause the valve to stay raised. Release the pressure. Then, once
cooled, clean the inside of the Pressure Cooker lid.
• Q: When opening the lid, why is the cooking pot stuck to it?
A: This may be caused by a vacuum effect due to cooling. To get the pot to separate from the
lid, move the pressure regulator knob to Venting. Then, remove the lid and the cooking pot
should stay inside the Pressure Cooker.
• Q: Why is steam coming from the rim of the lid during pressure cooking?
A: Food may be stuck to the gasket or the gasket may be torn or damaged. Check that the
gasket is clean and in place or if it needs to be replaced.
• Q: Why is steam continuously coming out of the floating valve?
A: Pressure regulator knob may be in the Venting position. As pressure is building, floating
valve will omit steam until pressure is reached.
• Q: Why is the red floating valve not rising?
A: If there is not enough liquid or water, there will not be enough steam to build pressure. Add
more water or liquid. As a rule, use at least 1 cup of water when pressure cooking.
• Q: Why is the appliance’s screen blank after plugging the appliance in?
A: There may be a bad power connection, no power or the appliance’s fuse may have blown. Try
a different power outlet to determine whether it is the outlet or appliance that’s causing the pow-
er issue. If the issue is the Pressure Cooker, unplug it and contact Chefman Customer Support.
