My power Quick **** goes to keep warm and will not go to other settings when plugged in
The Power Quick Pot Y4D-36 stays on the Keep Warm setting after cooking is complete to maintain food temperature. It does not automatically switch to other settings because the user must manually select and confirm a new cooking time and temperature using the controls. The unit requires manual input to change settings.

I **** unable to get the lid to seal
To fix the lid sealing issue on the Tristar Products Power Quick Pot Y4D-36, follow these steps:
1. Check the Inner Lid Rubber Gasket – Ensure it is properly installed, clean, flexible, and not torn. If it is damaged, replace it before using the unit.
2. Reinstall the Inner Lid Rubber Gasket – If not properly positioned, remove and reattach it securely.
3. Adjust the Lid Position – If the lid is not fully closed or positioned incorrectly, adjust it following the "ATTACHING LID" instructions in the manual.
4. Ensure the Correct Lid is Used – Non-pressure programs require the Glass Lid instead of the main lid.
5. Avoid Forcing the Lid Open – If the lid does not open or lock properly, unplug the unit and allow it to cool before attempting to adjust or remove the lid.
If the issue persists, contact Customer Service for further assistance.

whtat size inner ring to purchase for a 12 cups y8d-36 tristar products
The Tristar Products Power Quick Pot Y4D-36 comes in sizes up to 10 quarts, not 12 cups. Therefore, there is no specification for a 12-cup model. The inner ring (gasket) size would correspond to the quart size of the model. For the Y4D-36, which is a 4-quart model, the appropriate inner ring is for a 4-quart unit.
