Troubleshooting

In order to ensure best results when using the Innova Pressure Cooker, be certain to read
all of the instructions and safety tips contained in this owner's manual and all other printed
materials provided by the manufacturer. The following are practical tips and solutions to
some common problems you may experience when using the Innova Pressure Cooker.
PROBLEM The lid got jammed while trying to slide it closed, and will not open or close.
REASON If the instructions in the "Closing the Lid and Cooking" section of this manual were
not followed carefully, the lid might get jammed while trying to close it.
SOLUTION If there is some resistance when attempting to slide the lid closed, do not force it.
Stop, slide it back, lift the lid and try aligning the marks again as described in the
"Closing the Lid and Cooking" section of this manual.
If the lid jams, never try to force it closed. To un-jam try sliding the lid open again.
If you cannot open it, please contact the Fagor Customer Service Department at:
1-800-207-0806 or email at: info@fagoramerica.com.
PROBLEM There is water leaking from the lower handle while the cooker is building
pressure.
REASON While the pressure cooker is building pressure, a little water might drip from around
the area of the pressure lock on the pot handle. The water comes from steam con-
densed on the inside of the lid. The dripping will stop when the pressure cooker
reaches full pressure. However, if it's a continuous leak, or does not stop after
pressure has been reached, it might be for one of the following reasons:
1. The nuts and screws on the handle have loosened.
2. The gasket has not been oiled.
SOLUTION 1. Make sure the lower handle is screwed tight to the pot before using the pres-
2. Make sure you wash and dry your gasket after every use, and oil it regularly.
PROBLEM Pressure does not build up (the visual pressure indicator does not pop up after
more than 5 minutes on high heat).
REASON 1. There is not enough liquid.
2. The pressure cooker was not properly closed.
3. The valve is dirty and/or obstructed.
4. The silicone gasket is not in place, or is dirty or worn.
5. The operating valve is not in the correct position.
