REASON: 1. There is not enough liquid in the cooker.

2.The valve is dirty and/or obstructed.

3.The burner heat is not high enough.

SOLUTION: 1. Make sure there is enough liquid. There should always be at least half a cup of liquid in the pressure cooker, or 2 cups if the cooking time is over 10 minutes.

2.The valve can become dirty when cooking foods such as dried beans which have a tendency to foam. Clean the valve periodically. See the Care and Cleaning section in this manual for instructions on how to remove the valve for cleaning.

3.Turn up the heat to medium high until a gentle, steady stream of steam is released from the operating valve.

PROBLEM:

A gentle, steady stream of steam is released from the operating valve and small

 

drops of water condensation collect on the lid.

 

 

REASON:

When used properly, the operating valve will release a gentle steady stream of

 

steam as well as some drops of condensed water on the lid.

 

 

SOLUTION:

This is normal operation. If there is a lot of water gushing out of the operating valve

 

with the steam, see below.
