11. Troubleshooting the DUROMATIC

If you are unsure about using your pressure cooker or the safety
devices, do not use it and contact your retailer or KUHN RIKON.
(See section 13)
Is the pressure cooker leaking?
- Check that the rubber gasket is properly located (see section 7);
- Lubricate the gasket lightly with cooking/vegetable oil or
moisten with a little water;
- Or, if necessary, replace.
If effort is required to open or close the lid even after the gasket has been
lubricated with a little cooking oil, then the lid or pan may be deformed. The
pressure cooker must be taken to a KUHN RIKON Service Center for inspection.
(See section 13)
If the second safety device (SI valve) releases steam while cooking, the main
valve is not functioning. Disassemble, clean and check the main valve.
(See section 10)
If the pressure indicator stem does not move freely, then disassemble, clean
and check the main valve. (See section 10)
If this does not solve the problem, please refer to your dealer. (See section 13)
