Display shows a message indicating insufficient water (e.g., "WATR" or "Add H2O") and the cooker stops heating.

Safety first: Unplug the cooker and allow it to cool slightly before opening the lid, especially if under pressure.

• Check liquid level: Open the lid and verify there is enough liquid. Add water or stock to meet Breville's minimum requirements.
• Inspect for scorching: If food is stuck or burnt on the bottom, remove and clean the pot thoroughly before continuing.
• Reseat inner pot: Ensure the pot is fully seated and flat on the heating plate with no foreign objects underneath.
• Restart program: After correcting the liquid level and cleaning, restart the cooking program. Persistent low-water warnings with adequate liquid may indicate a sensor issue.
