Why doesn't the float valve rise on my Instant Pot Duo Mini?
If the float valve on your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker does not rise, remove it from the lid and clean it thoroughly, including the silicone cap, to remove any food debris. Add thin, water-based liquid to the inner pot based on size: 3 Qt - 1 cup, 6 Qt - 1 1/2 cups, 8 Qt - 2 cups. Install or replace the float valve if the silicone cap is damaged or missing. Tap the float valve with a long utensil if it is obstructed. If the float valve still does not drop, turn the cooker off. Perform “Initial Test Run” to check for function and record findings. Contact Customer Care if needed. Also, contact Customer Care if there is no heat in the inner pot or if the inner pot base may be damaged.
Why is steam gushing from the steam release valve on my Instant Pot Duo Mini Electric Pressure Cooker?
If steam gushes from the steam release valve when the steam release handle is in the “Sealing” position on your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, add thin, water-based liquid to the inner pot based on the size: 1 cup for 3 Qt, 1 1/2 cups for 6 Qt, or 2 cups for 8 Qt. Also, ensure the steam release handle is properly seated by turning it to the “Sealing” position. For pressure sensor control failure, contact Customer Care.
How to close the lid on my Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker?
If you're having difficulty closing the lid of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, make sure the sealing ring is properly installed and snug behind the sealing ring rack. If the float valve is in the popped-up position, gently press it downward with a long utensil. If the contents in the cooker are still hot, turn the steam release handle to the “Venting” position and slowly lower the lid to allow heat to dissipate.
Why is steam leaking from the side of my Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker lid?
If steam is leaking from the side of the lid of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, make sure the sealing ring is installed correctly. If it's damaged, replace it. Also, check for and remove any food debris attached to the sealing ring. Ensure the lid is closed properly. If the sealing ring rack is warped or the inner pot rim is misshapen, contact Customer Care.
What to do if I have difficulty opening the Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker lid?
