How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the cooker is unplugged when cleaning the heating plate.

Install correct pot: Make sure the original Gourmia inner pot is in place. The cooker will not operate without it.
Clean contact area: Remove the pot and gently clean the heating plate and central sensor disc with a soft, dry cloth.
Check pot shape: Place the pot on a flat surface to see if it rocks. If warped, replace it with a new Gourmia-compatible inner pot.
Re-seat pot: Reinstall the pot, rotating slightly to ensure full contact, then try starting a program again.

Display shows "POT" or similar message and cooker will not start.
