Why does my Black+Decker PR100 beep intermittently during cooking?

  If your Black+Decker Electric Pressure Cooker is beeping intermittently after cooking for a while, it indicates overheating. The pressure cooker has reduced the heating temperature and may not reach cooking pressure. Stop the pressure cooker, use the pressure release valve to reduce internal pressure, and inspect the bottom of the cooking bowl for possible starch deposits clogging heat dissipation.

  If the red float valve on your Black+Decker Electric Pressure Cooker is unable to rise, ensure there's enough food or water in the cooking bowl, adding water according to the recipe. Also, check that the red float valve isn't obstructed by the locking lid pin, and ensure the lid is completely closed.

  The occasional ticking or light cracking sound from your Black+Decker Electric Pressure Cooker is normal. It's the sound of power switching and expanding as the pressure board changes temperature. If the cooking bowl bottom is wet, wipe it dry before cooking.
