Liquid or foam spurting from the steam release valve during pressure release.

Safety first: Keep hands and face away from the steam release. Hot liquid can cause severe burns.

• Use natural release: For foamy foods, allow pressure to drop naturally for 10–15 minutes before opening the valve.
• Clean anti-block shield: Remove the metal shield under the steam release and clean thoroughly to ensure steam can pass freely.
• Adjust recipes: Do not exceed half-full for beans, grains, and foamy foods. Add a spoonful of oil to reduce foaming.
• Inspect valve: If spurting continues despite proper use, replace the Cosori steam release valve assembly.
