The Xiaomi Electric Pressure Cooker 4.8L will not leak after the lid is closed. The seal of the pressure cooker is elastically sealed by the sealing ring in the lid to seal the inner pot. The reserved gap after closing the lid will not affect the cooking of the rice cooker. Please feel free to use it.
For your reference, here are more details about the reserved gap:
1. The pressure cooker lid is a movable part, and closing the lid is achieved by locking it in place with the latch at the front of the pot. To ensure smooth opening and closing, a certain gap must be maintained between the lid and the pot body, allowing for proper functionality. Additionally, the pressure cooker lid is equipped with a spring mechanism that assists when opening, causing a slight rebound and creating a minor gap between the lid and the pot body once closed;
2. Most products in the industry utilize an upper and lower locking structure, so having a gap after the lid is closed is a design feature and is normal;
3. After closing the lid, there will be a design-preserved gap. If you press down on the lid, you can notice some vertical movement. This is a normal occurrence due to the reserved space between the lid and the pot body. When external pressure is applied, the lid will push down slightly, resulting in minor wobbling.
Note:
During cooking, internal pressure builds up, which can cause the lid to rise slightly, increasing the gap between the lid and the pot body. This is also normal.
