I am using my pot for the first time and following the directions, I can't seem to operate the regulator knob. Nothing happens when I push it down.

If you mean the regulator control (steam to pressure) it just sits on the unit. It does not push down. It floats. When you use pressure simply turn it to that point and the when it's done it will bleed off by it self or you can carefully turn it to steam to take pressure off quickly. Please use caution due to hot steam. Does this answer your question ?

You don't have to push it down. When you line the steam dot with the one on the lid it lifts up Letting steam out. When you set it to pressure, it drops down to seal it. It feels a bit funny because it's so loose feeling.

Make sure that dot on the knob is on "Pressure". If you have it on steam it will just cook without no pressure.

Dont worry. Just put regulator in his place, after turn regulator knob where the word airtight, the hendel of the knob have to fase the handel of the cpressure cooker hendel. On top of the cooker you have direction. Its the grate product.

Turn the voltage potentiometer (no load). Then adjust the current as desired (for voltage priority). Do the opposite (current first, then voltage) for current (limiting) priority. The pictures on the Amazon web page show which pots are which and explains the procedure. If you need more information, this is a generic China made product and the complete procedure for any application is readily available with a web search.

I tried the pot - did not work for me. Don't have a garden, otherwise will start in the ground, but later when it is warmer.

Go to the manual and call the number. They must get this call a lot because they had a step by step to get it lit the first time. I don't remember the steps, but they had me detach the hose, hold the switch, have the flow real low... It worked and once it got primed the first time, it's lit easily ever since.

Have you tried to use it? Mine is always kinked right where it fits onto the pot. But once your water starts boiling and the steam runs through it, it always softens the hose and straightens out the kink and the juice flows fine.

make sure you didn't turn off the button on the side of the pot. That's the only thing I can think of. Hope it helps.

there should be an instruction manual a small white piece of paper that shows how to run the machine, plug in put pot on unit then push the button on the right, then hit the temp button, go over to the plus or minus buttons to set temp. i hope that helps.

yes I really messed mine up by ignoring those directions - but it was by cooking a sweet mixture that boiled over - sugary substance was trapped between the ridges of the pot bottom - reached an unusually high temp and pock marked the surfaceI'm now considering using this pot as a canner - thinking that it will only contain water and I'll watch carefully so it doesn't boil over (if it were to do so I would quickly remove the pot from the cooktop) - here's hoping . . . !!!

I was having the same exact problem and i couldnt figure it out. My assistant played with it and I think she put the gasket at the bottom or something and now it works. Unfortunately i didnt fix it, she did i dont know how to help you. I would suggest that you change the order in which the parts are inside the handle and see if you can get it to work.

Someone suggested using a timer. You can't use a timer with electronic controls (even if it has a manual setting). The timer will only allow or prevent power getting to the unit. However, with electronic controls, someone has to program and push the buttons, while the unit has power. If you set the program and then turn the unit off via a timer, the programming will be lost and the pot will do nothing when the timer turns on.

I don't know for sure. I had the same problem when I first got mine but after studying the instruction book found that I had not set the knobs properly. ( I hate readinginstructions!) If it isn't a new oven and has been working, I'd contact DeLonghi Sorry I can't be more help.

Did you turn the knob to on , if not do so . And if you have turn the knob both ways and still nothing then something is wrong. Remember turn knob all the way.

I had this same issue. What worked for me was turning the valve to allow for more fuel to be released. Once I did this, I had no issues starting this great lightweight stove.

Just pull straight down. If dispensing, make sure the knobby piece is lined up in the track and push straight up.

push the pressure cooking time button to the amount of time you want ,then press start. Or if you select one of the items listed on the cooker it starts automacticly...make sure your top is shut properly and the valve is closed
