Unpleasant or persistent odors from the cooker or silicone ring, even after cleaning.

Safety first: Ensure the cooker is unplugged and cool before disassembling for cleaning.

• Deep clean lid: Remove the sealing ring, inner lid plate, anti-block shield, and steam valve. Wash all removable parts with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Deodorize ring: Soak the silicone ring in a solution of water and vinegar or baking soda, then rinse and air-dry.
• Store with lid open: When not in use, store the cooker with the lid slightly open to allow ventilation.
• Replace ring: If odors persist, replace the silicone sealing ring.
