Strong metallic or plastic odor from the multicooker during use, persisting after several cycles.

Safety: Unplug and cool the unit before deep cleaning.

• Initial burn-in: Run several cycles with water and a few tablespoons of white vinegar on a steam or pressure setting to remove manufacturing residues.
• Deep clean lid: Remove the sealing ring, anti-block shield, steam release valve, and float valve. Clean all parts thoroughly with warm soapy water and rinse well.
• Replace sealing ring: If the silicone ring retains strong odors or appears discolored, replace it with a new Ambiano-compatible ring.
• Inspect plastics: Check for discolored or warped plastic parts near the heating area. Replace any components that show signs of overheating.
