Unusual burning smell during operation; sometimes light smoke from vents.

Safety: If you see smoke or smell strong burning, unplug immediately and do not continue using until inspected.

• Check interior: After cooling, remove the inner pot and inspect the heating plate and surrounding area for burnt food or oil. Clean thoroughly.
• Look for foreign objects: Ensure no plastic, paper, or packaging material is trapped inside the housing or near the heater.
• Inspect base: Remove the bottom cover and check for dust buildup on the heater and PCB. Carefully vacuum or blow out dust.
• Check for burnt components: Look for discoloration or melted parts on the PCB and wiring. Replace any damaged components or the entire PCB if necessary.
