Inner pot coating is peeling or scratched, and food sticks badly.

Safety first: Do not continue cooking in a severely damaged nonstick pot, as flakes can contaminate food.

• Inspect coating: If large areas are bare metal or flaking, the pot should be replaced.
• Switch to proper utensils: Use only silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils with the new pot.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners: Clean with soft sponges and mild detergent only.
• Replace inner pot: Purchase a Bella-compatible replacement inner pot designed for your multicooker model.
