The lid is stuck and will not open after cooking; no error code is displayed.

Safety first: Never force the lid open. Forcing can cause sudden steam release and burns.

• Check pressure indicator: Ensure the float valve has dropped fully. If not, gently tap the lid near the valve with a wooden spoon to help it fall.
• Manual steam release: Carefully move the steam release valve to venting (using a utensil) and wait until all steam stops.
• Cool down: If the lid remains stuck, unplug the cooker and allow it to cool for 30–60 minutes. Pressure will drop as temperature falls.
• Clean lock mechanism: Once open, clean the lid lock slot and pin thoroughly. Remove any dried food that could jam the mechanism.
• Inspect for damage: If the lock pin is bent or the lid is warped, replace the lid lock assembly or complete lid.
