Got it. Could you check, what position is your valve pointing to?

Customer Replay

The back NOT VENTING

Got it. How much time did you wait since starting the pressure cooking process?

Customer Replay

5 minutes

As far as I know, it may take up to 30 minutes before the cooking process starts

Customer Replay

now it doesn't res[pond at all

Could you tell me what does it show on the screen?

Customer Replay

nothing. It wont do anything

Does clicking "Cancel" do anything?

Customer Replay

It's hot but not responding. I assume I will have to wait until it cools.

Yes, it'll be the best solution

What is the order to start the pressure cooking feature?

There are a few steps
As you've asked us, here are the steps to turn your pressure cooker:

  1. Check the bottom of the pot so it doesn't have anything that might be blocking the steam, then put your food into it
  2. You have to make sure you've got enough liquid in the pressure cooker
  3. Make sure that your sealing clean is clean and properly installed; your float valve is clean and is able to go up and down; your steam-release handle is clean and pointing to the sealing position
  4. Press the "MEAT | STEW" button
  5. Now, it's just a matter of time; you should see the steam coming out of the pot

Can you email them to me? *****@gmail.com

Of course, if it's more convenient to you, I can send them there
Also, I can send you a link for a video, where you can see how people use it

Customer Replay

Thanks so much if you could do that for me. I checked my electrical outlets and they are working.

That's great I will send you instructions and link for a video

Customer Replay

That would be great. I haven't used it in a while and I guess I've forgotten how to do it.

No worries, we're always here to help you

Customer Replay
