CHEF iQ Pressure Cooker Problems:
1. Steam Leaks From The Rim
When the steam starts leaking from the rim, it will result in pressure buildup issues. The steam leak issue persists because of the sealing ring. To begin with, if you haven’t properly installed the sealing ring, the steam leak issue will persist. For this purpose, you need to reinstall the sealing ring (take it out and put it in after some time).
Secondly, when the seal ring has residue or food residue on it, it will impact the performance. While you are at it, don’t forget to check the seal ring because it tends to wear out with time. So, clean the sealing ring, and if the seal ring has worn out, don’t forget to replace it. Lastly, don’t forget to check the locking of the lid. It’s best to use the instruction manual for properly locking the lid.
2. Air Escapes From The Floater Valve
In case the air escapes from the floater valve, you need to check the sealing ring. For this purpose, check for the food residue on the floater valve’s seal ring. In addition, there are chances that the seal ring has worn out. In this case, one must clean the seal ring and replace it if it has worn out. Secondly, you also need to check the hole of the floater valve.
In case the hole is clogged, it will disable the floater valve to rise up. In this case, you must clean the floater valve and ensure nothing is clogging it.
