Strong burning smell or visible smoke from the base or lid during operation.

Safety first: Immediately unplug the cooker and, if safe, remove it from flammable surfaces. Do not continue using the appliance until inspected.

• Check for food spills: After cooling, remove the inner pot and inspect the heating plate for burnt food or oil. Clean thoroughly.
• Inspect wiring: Remove the bottom cover and look for melted insulation, burnt connectors, or charred PCB areas.
• Do not bypass safety: If any electrical burning is found, do not attempt to bypass fuses or damaged parts. Replace the affected components or the entire PCB/heater assembly.
• Professional service: For any sign of electrical fire or smoke from inside the housing, have the cooker serviced by a qualified technician before reuse.
