Problem
Steam is escaping near the
control valve unit.
Steam is escaping under
the lid handle (near the
Euromatic), although the
cooking indicator has
already risen.
A great deal of steam is
escaping from the edge
of the lid, although the
cooking indicator has
already risen.
Steam is escaping from
under the round cover
cap for the lid handle or
the release button.
Possible reason
The temperature is too high for the
selected cooking setting. (The cooking
indicator has risen further than the
second ring)
The control valve is not attached cor-
rectly and firmly.
The O-ring, valve base seal, or silicone
membrane is missing, defective, or incor-
rectly attached.
The lid handle is loose.
The flat gasket for the fastening screw of
the lid handle or the o-ring for the Eu-
romatic is missing, defective, or mounted
incorrectly.
If a great deal of steam is released, the
Euromatic may have been triggered as
a safety mechanism. This happens if the
valve is dirty or defective.
The silicone gasket is defective.
The silicone gasket has been triggered
as a safety mechanism. This happens if
the valve and the Euromatic are dirty or
defective.
A seal is defective.
