Multicooker emits a strong plastic or chemical smell during first uses.

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

• Initial cleaning: Wash the inner pot, lid, sealing ring, and accessories with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Burn-in cycle: Run a cycle with water and a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice on a high setting, then discard the water.
• Ventilate: Operate the cooker near an open window or under a range hood for the first few uses.
• Monitor smell: The odor should diminish after several uses. Persistent strong burning smell may indicate overheating or electrical issues and should be checked.
