Problem Possible reason Try this
Occasional
clicking or light
cracking sound.
The sound of power switching,
or the pressure board may be
expanding due to changing
temperatures.
This is normal; no action needed.
Bottom of the inner pot
is wet.
Wipe exterior surfaces of the inner pot. Make sure the
heating element is dry before inserting the inner pot into
the multicooker base.
Difficulty

Reposition the sealing ring. Make sure it is snug behind the
sealing ring rack.

position.
Gently press the oat valve downward with a long utensil.
Contents in multicooker are
still hot.
Lower the lid onto the multicooker base slowly, allowing
heat to dissipate.
Difficulty

Contents may be under pressure. To avoid scalding
injury, DO NOT attempt to force the lid open.
Pressure inside the multicooker.
Release pressure according to recipe. Only open the lid
after the oat valve has dropped down.
Float valve stuck in the
popped-up position due to
food debris or residue.
Make sure steam is completely released by quick releasing
pressure, then press the oat valve gently with a long
utensil.
Open the lid cautiously, then thoroughly clean the oat
valve, surrounding area and lid before next use.
The inner pot
is stuck to the
lid when the

Cooling of the inner pot may
create suction, causing the
inner pot to adhere to the lid.
To release the vacuum, move the quick release switch into
the Vent position.
