Questions and answers
Steam releases during preheating even when the seal is on. Steam is not being released from the side of of the lid but from the seal button itself.
Steam may be releasing from the seal button on the Instant Pot Duo Plus during preheating because the lid is not fully locked. If the lid is not closed and locked properly, the unit will not start pressurizing, and the display will show "Turn to Lock Lid." Ensure the lid is securely locked to prevent steam from escaping.
