KEEP WARM function overheats food, causing drying or burning at the bottom.

Safety first: Stir and check food temperature before serving, especially for children or elderly.

• Limit warm time: Avoid leaving food on KEEP WARM for many hours, particularly rice and thick dishes.
• Add a little liquid: Before KEEP WARM, add a small amount of water or sauce and stir to reduce sticking.
• Use lower setting (if available): Some models allow adjusting keep-warm temperature; choose a lower level.

If food burns quickly even with short keep-warm times, the control board or sensor may be faulty and should be inspected.
