To Next PageTo Next PageWhy my Prestige Smartplus Electric Pressure Cooker won't come to pressure?
Your Prestige Electric Pressure Cooker might not be building pressure because of several reasons. The lid gasket could be leaking, the pressure regulator might not be clicking into place or is loose, or it's positioned incorrectly. Ensure the pressure regulator is set to (I) for reduced pressure or (II) 12lbs (83kPa). Another cause might be a melted safety plug.
