Multicooker emits a strong burning plastic or electrical smell during use.

Safety first: Immediately unplug the cooker. Do not continue to operate it if you smell burning plastic or insulation.

• Inspect interior: After cooling, remove the inner pot and check for spilled food or oil on the heater plate and surrounding area. Clean gently with a damp cloth and dry.
• Check exterior vents: Ensure vents are not blocked and remove any dust buildup.
• Test cautiously: Plug the unit back in and run a short, low-heat program while monitoring for smell. If the burning smell returns quickly, stop use.
• Do not open base if untrained: Internal wiring and heater inspection should be done by a professional.
• Service required: Persistent burning smell indicates internal damage; the heater assembly or wiring harness may need replacement.
