Q: What is pressure cooking?
A: Pressure cooking is a method of cooking in a sealed appliance that does not allow steam
to escape below a preset pressure. 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 riseto a higher temperature before boiling, keeping moisture locked in
food.
Q: Why is the lid not closing?
A: The gasket (sealing ring) may not be properly secured to the appliance. Check that the
gasket is secured and not damaged in any way.
Q: Why is the lid not opening?
A: There may still be pressure inside the appliance. The lid cannot be opened until all
pressure has been released. Never attempt to force the lid open.
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: Why is the red floating valve stuck in the down position?
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 cooking.
