Non-stick coating of inner pot is peeling or scratched; food sticks badly

Safety first: Do not ingest flaking coating; replace damaged pots promptly.

• Stop using metal tools: Switch to silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils to prevent further damage.
• Gentle cleaning: Use soft sponges and non-abrasive cleaners only.
• Avoid dry heating: Never run the cooker with an empty pot or without sufficient liquid.
• Replace pot: If coating is significantly peeling or scratched, replace the inner pot with a Daewoo-compatible non-stick pot.

Continuing to use a heavily damaged pot can affect cooking performance and cleanliness.
