Food residue under sealing ring, Dirty condensate collector, Residue in steam channels, Porous gasket absorbing odors

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before deep cleaning.

  • Disassemble lid components: Remove the sealing ring, inner lid plate, steam release valve, and float valve.
  • Soak parts: Wash removable parts in warm soapy water with a small amount of vinegar or baking soda to neutralize odors.
  • Clean condensate collector: Remove and wash the condensate cup and its channel.
  • Air out the cooker: Leave the lid open in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours.
  • If odors persist, replace the sealing ring, as silicone can retain strong smells over time.
