“Should the float valve be sealing itself automatically when the knob next to it is set to the "sealed" position? Mine seems to be failing to seal, venting a lot of steam when cooking”

Yes, the float valve should pop up and seal as soon as the pressure cooker comes up to pressure. If it never does, the appliance is defective and should be returned. Pressure cookers do require an appropriate amount of water or other *thin* liquid in there to make steam. If you have too little water / thin liquid, or too much heavy liquid or thick sauce, the pressure cooker may either take a very long time to build up pressure or it may not seal and may vent steam until the food starts to scorch. Pressure cookers much have steam to cook with.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Make sure your seal (casket) in the lid is properly placed & not worn or damaged.
