Possible causes
● The lid lock is not locked well (the lid handle is not pulled back).
● The [Start] button is not pressed after the time is set.
● Steam leak. (See below the "Steam leak" description.)
● Even if the pressure cooking has started, the pressure
inside the pan has not reached the set pressure.
● There are foreign objects at the bottom of the cast heater, lid
sensor or the pan.
● The bottom sensor can not work properly because the
seasoning are not completely dissolved.
● There is a foreign object on the pan, inner lid, pan packing
or pressure indicator pin.
● The pan, inner lid or pan packing is dented or damaged.
● The pressure valve is leaking, the ball inside has a dent, or
the ball fixing seal ring is out of position.
● The safety valve (molten alloy) melts.
● The outer lid is not closed properly.
● Too much ingredients or water is put in the pan.
● During Auxiliary Cooking, the outer lid is closed.
● The pressure valve is not installed.
● The safety valve (molten alloy) melts.
● Pressure Select, Time Setting or water amount is not correct.
● There is a foreign object on the cast heater or inner lid, bottom
sensor.
● The pan placed in the main body is tilted.
● The pressure valve is not installed.
● Seasoning is not completely dissolved.
● Has the pressure in the pan been completely released (the
pressure indicator pin is dropped)?
● Is the inner lid installed?
● Is the inner lid or the lid handle deformed?
● Because there is pressure in the pan, seal strength is enhanced
for the pressure cooker,so you find it difficult to close. Especially
when loosening the white rice immediately after cooking, you will
find it difficult to close.
● Is there any rice grain at the upper hook snap, lower hook snap
or the upper body?
● The "rip ..." sound indicates that the pressure is released.
● The "grunt" sound heard when closing the inner lid indicates that
the pressure valve is rolling in the outer lid.
● The "pata" sound heard when you release the pressure indicates
that the solenoid valve beats.
● The "beep, beep ..." sound indicates that the lid lock is not locked,
or is mistakenly opened before exhaust steam or during cooking.
● The "buzzing" sound indicates that the solenoid valve is operating.
● The "pop" sound indicates that the water drops at the bottom
(outer) of the pan crack due to thermal expansion.
● The inner lid or pan packing is dented or damaged.
