Persistent food odours or rancid smell from inside the cooker even after cleaning.

Safety first: Ensure the cooker is unplugged and cool before deep cleaning.

• Deep clean lid: Remove the lid gasket, inner lid, steam release valve, and float valve. Soak in warm soapy water, scrub gently, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
• Clean condensation collector: Remove and wash the condensation cup and its channel.
• Deodorize cycle: Run a short steam cycle with water and a few tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon slices in the pot, then rinse.
• Inspect inner pot: If the non-stick coating is heavily scratched or stained, consider replacing the inner pot as it can retain odours.
