Unit trips the household circuit breaker or RCD when plugged in or when heating starts.

Safety: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips. Unplug the cooker and do not use it until the fault is corrected.

• Visual inspection: Remove the base and look for obvious signs of arcing, burned insulation, or moisture.
• Check heating element: With a multimeter, test resistance between each heating element terminal and the metal chassis. Any reading other than infinite indicates a ground fault; replace the element.
• Inspect wiring harness: Look for wires pinched between panels or with damaged insulation. Repair or replace as needed.
• Dry moisture: If there is evidence of liquid inside, dry thoroughly and allow 24 hours before retesting.
• Replace damaged components: If suppression components (capacitors, MOVs) are cracked or burned, replace the main control board.
