Inner pot has white spots, discoloration, or pitting after use.

Safety first: Allow the pot to cool before cleaning.

• Remove mineral spots: Soak the pot with a mixture of vinegar and water, then scrub with a non-abrasive pad.
• Avoid pitting: Add salt only after water has come to a boil and is stirred, to reduce localized corrosion.
• Use proper utensils: Avoid metal scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
• Replace pot if severe: If pitting is deep or widespread, replace the inner pot.
