Why is steam escaping from between the lid and the pot of my IKEA Electric Pressure Cooker?
Steam might escape because the pressure cooker isn't closed correctly, the gasket is dirty, or the gasket is broken/worn. Ensure the pressure cooker is correctly closed. Clean the gasket, and replace the gasket yearly.
What to do if no steam is coming from the pressure regulator of my IKEA Electric Pressure Cooker?
If no steam is coming from the pressure regulator, it could be due to steam escaping from between the lid and the pot, a dirty pressure regulator, not enough liquid in the pressure cooker, or too low heat supply. Replace the gasket yearly if steam is escaping from the lid. Slowly cool down the pressure cooker and add at least 0.25 l of liquid if there is not enough liquid. Increase the heat supply by turning the hob to a higher setting.
Why is too much steam coming from the pressure regulator of my IKEA Electric Pressure Cooker?
Too much steam might be released if the heat supply is too high, or the pressure regulator is dirty. Decrease the heat supply by turning the hob to a lower setting.
What to do if steam is escaping from the sides of the pressure regulator of my IKEA Electric Pressure Cooker?
If steam escapes from the sides of the pressure regulator, it means that the pressure regulator is not correctly fitted. Fit the pressure regulator correctly and tighten the union nut on the inside of the lid using the key 10.
