How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the multicooker before cleaning the control panel.
- Clean keypad surface: Wipe the control panel with a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Free stuck buttons: Press each button repeatedly to free any that may be stuck. Listen for a consistent click or tactile feedback.
- Dry out moisture: If the panel was exposed to spills, allow the unit to sit unplugged for 24–48 hours in a dry environment.
- Test again: Plug in and see if F1 clears. If the same button appears stuck (e.g., constant beeping when touched), the keypad membrane is likely damaged.
- Replace keypad assembly: Persistent F1 usually requires replacement of the control panel or keypad assembly by a technician.
