the button on the side is it a switch or a button ? I had one if these and mine was a switch (if it is that the problem turn it back on.

you can ajust them by unding the 4 screws and looking inside.

Turn off the dial,

Hold in the side button, at the same time, turn the front dial to about 2/3rds then release both buttons.

This should have now set your internal pressure.

now turn on and rotate the front button to the right speed.
