Pressure inside the multicooker.

position due to food debris
or residue.
Cooling of the inner pot may create
suction, causing the inner pot to adhere
to the lid.
Try this
This is normal; no action needed.
Wipe exterior surfaces of the inner pot. Make
sure the heating element is dry before inserting
the inner pot back into the multicooker base.
Reposition the sealing ring. Make sure it is snug
behind the sealing ring rack.
Gently press the float valve downward with
a long utensil.
Hold the quick release switch in the Vent
position as you lower the lid onto the
multicooker base slowly, allowing heat
to dissipate.
Release pressure according to recipe.
Only open the lid after the float valve
has dropped down.
Release pressure completely, then tap the float
valve gently with a long utensil.
Open the lid cautiously, then thoroughly clean
the float valve, surrounding area and
lid before next use.
To release the vacuum, move the quick release
switch to the Vent position.
