Possible Causes

Incorrect cooking mode or time, Faulty bottom temperature sensor, Poor contact between inner pot and heating plate, Warped inner pot

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow the cooker to cool before inspecting internal parts.

  • Verify cooking settings: Ensure you are using the correct Bella program and recommended liquid amounts for the recipe.
  • Check pot contact: Remove the pot and inspect the heating plate for debris or warping. Clean and ensure the pot sits flat.
  • Inspect inner pot: Replace the pot if the bottom is bowed or heavily scratched, as this can cause hot spots.
  • Sensor check: If burning occurs even with adequate liquid and correct settings, the bottom NTC sensor may be out of calibration and should be replaced.
