Questions and answers
**** does not come up to pressure
The AEG Precision EPC 6000 may not come up to pressure due to several reasons:
1. Blocked Float Valve or Pressure Release Devices – Ensure they are not clogged with food debris.
2. Improper Sealing – Check that the lid is properly closed and the sealing ring is correctly positioned.
3. Insufficient Liquid – The pressure cooker requires enough liquid to generate steam and build pressure.
4. Food Causing Foam or Clogs – Certain foods like oatmeal, split peas, and pasta can froth and block pressure release devices.
5. Heating Plate Issues – Keep the heating plate clean to ensure proper heat transfer.
6. Incorrect Power Supply – Ensure the cooker is plugged into a proper power source with the correct voltage.
If the issue persists, refer to the operating instructions for troubleshooting.

My pressure cooker no reading air is just coming out on too
Your AEG Precision EPC 6000 pressure cooker may be releasing steam without building pressure due to the following reasons:
1. Improper Sealing – Ensure the lid is properly closed and sealed. The sealing ring should be correctly positioned and undamaged.
2. Overfilled Pot – The total volume of food and liquid must not exceed 60% of the pot’s capacity (50% for dried vegetables, beans, or grains).
3. Pressure Release Valve Issue – Check if the pressure release valve is set correctly and not stuck in the open position.
4. Damaged or Misaligned Gasket – Inspect the gasket for wear, cracks, or incorrect placement, as it may prevent pressure buildup.
5. Excessive Steam from Browning/Sautéing – If you recently used the browning or sauté function, switch off the cooker and wait about 1.5 minutes before selecting the pressure function.
Ensure all components are properly set up before trying again.
