Persistent unpleasant odor from inside the cooker, even after cleaning.

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before deep cleaning.

• Deep clean lid: Remove the sealing ring, inner lid plate, and steam release components. Wash all removable parts in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Clean condensation collector: Remove and wash the condensation cup and surrounding area to eliminate mold or stale water.
• Deodorize inner pot: Boil a mixture of water and a few tablespoons of white vinegar in the cooker on a non‑pressure program for 10–15 minutes, then rinse.
• Replace porous parts: If odors persist, replace the silicone sealing ring and, if necessary, the inner pot.
