Strong plastic or chemical odor from the cooker during initial uses.

Safety first: Ensure good ventilation when performing initial burn-in cycles.

• Wash removable parts: Thoroughly wash the inner pot, sealing ring, and inner lid with warm soapy water and dry.
• Run water-only cycles: Perform 1–2 short pressure or steam cycles with only water to burn off residues.
• Ventilate the area: Use the cooker in a well-ventilated kitchen until the odor dissipates.
• Inspect for melting: If you see any deformed plastic or persistent strong burning smell, stop using the cooker and inspect internal parts for overheating damage.
