What to do if my ELITE BISTRO Kitchen Appliances pressure cooker beeps and goes to Keep Warm before food is cooked?

This usually happens when the pressure cooker detects insufficient liquid or a pressure leak. First, ensure all pressure is released, then open the lid and add liquid in 1/2 cup increments until the unit builds pressure properly. If that doesn't work, firmly push down on the lid to help the seal form, or release pressure and check that the rubber gasket ring is in place, the lid is securely locked, and the valve is set to 'Airtight'. Unplug the unit for 10 seconds, plug it back in, and reprogram it. Also, remember to replenish any liquid that may have evaporated during these steps.
