This instant pot will not open unless you release the pressure valve.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your cooker has the following protections features: Lid lock: Locks the lid in place when enough pressure builds up inside your cooker. You cannot remove the lid until the pressure level lowers to the required level. Pressure release knob: Automatically releases pressure if excessive pressure builds up inside your cooker. Pressure release valve protector: Sits on top of the inner pressure release valve to prevent food from entering and clogging the valve. Floating valve: When pressure builds up inside your cooker, the floating valve pops up and prevents you from removing the lid. When the pressure drops, it drops down. You should wait for a while before opening the lid. Gasket: Creates an air tight seal to maintain the pressure inside your cooker. If the pressure level exceeds the required level, the gasket expands to release pressure on the sides of the lid. Condensation collector: Collects condensation during the cooking process to prevent condensation from interfering with other protection features. Overheat protection: If the temperature exceeds the required level, turns off the heating element, display, and indicator lights.
