TROUBLE SHOOTING:

The lid got jammed while trying to slide it closed, and will not open
or close.
If the instructions in the "to close the pressure cooker" section of this manual were
not followed carefully, the lid might get jammed while trying to close it.
If there is some resistance when attempting to slide the lid closed, do not force it.
Stop, lift the lid and try aligning the marks again as described in the "to close the
pressure cooker" section of this manual. If the lid jams, never force it closed.
There is water leaking from the lower handle while the pressure cooker is
building pressure.
While the pressure cooker is building pressure, a little water might drip from around
the area of the handle. The water comes from steam condensed on the inside of
the lid. The dripping will stop when the full pressure has been reached. However,
if it is a continuous leak, or does not stop after pressure has been reached, it might
be due to one of the following reasons:
1. The nuts and screws on the handle have loosened.
2. The gasket has not been oiled.
3. Gasket is not inserted correctly.
1. Make sure the lower handle is screwed tight to the pot before using the pressure
cooker or after all pressure has been released. Tighten the screws with a screwdriver
if necessary
2. Wash and dry your gasket after each use and oil it regularly.
3. Place gasket into pressure cooker correctly.
