Safety Features

The Cook4me Touch is equipped with multiple safety systems:

• If Safety Systems Activate: Unplug the appliance, let it cool completely, open, and check/clean the safety valve, ball, and cover. Contact an Approved Service Centre if issues persist.
• Pressure Regulation: Small amounts of steam may be released during pressure cooking to regulate internal pressure.
• Lid Safety: The metal lid, identifiable by its red safety valve, is specifically designed for the Cook4me Touch and should not be used with other appliances.

Troubleshooting

Lid Issues:

• Check for obstructions between the bowl and heating plate. Ensure the heating plate, central element, and area under the bowl are clean and the central element moves freely.
• Verify the lid release handle is in the fully open position.
• Ensure all parts of the metal lid are correctly installed.
• If the bowl is damaged, contact an Approved Service Centre.

Pressure Fails to Raise / Steam Not Released Properly:

• Check and clean the gasket seal; replace it every three years at an Approved Service Centre.
• Ensure the inner lid is present and the central nut is tight.
