2. Setup and Installation

Proper installation of these replacement parts is crucial for the safe and effective operation of your pressure cooker. Always ensure the pressure cooker is unplugged and completely cool before attempting any installation or replacement.

2.1. Replacing the Silicone Sealing Ring

1. Remove Old Ring: Gently pull the old silicone sealing ring from the rim of the pressure cooker lid. It should come off easily.
2. Clean Lid: Clean the groove on the lid where the sealing ring sits to remove any food debris or residue.
3. Install New Ring: Align the new silicone sealing ring with the groove on the inside of the pressure cooker lid. Press it firmly into place, ensuring it is seated evenly all around the rim. The ring should fit snugly without any twists or gaps.

2.2. Replacing the Float Valve and Sealers

The float valve and its sealers are small but vital components for pressure regulation. Handle them with care.

1. Locate Float Valve: On the underside of the pressure cooker lid, locate the small metal pin (float valve) that protrudes through a hole.
2. Remove Old Parts: From the top side of the lid, gently push the float valve downwards until it comes out from the underside. Note the position of the small silicone sealer gaskets on the float valve. Typically, one sealer is on the top side of the lid and one on the bottom side, securing the float valve in place.
3. Install New Sealers: Place one new silicone sealer gasket onto the narrow end of the float valve.
4. Insert Float Valve: From the outside (top) of the lid, insert the narrow end of the float valve through the designated hole.
5. Secure with Second Sealer: From the inside (underside) of the lid, place the second new silicone sealer gasket onto the float valve, pushing it up firmly to secure the float valve in place. Ensure the float valve can move freely up and down within the hole.
