How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker. Allow pressure to release naturally if present.
- Open and inspect: Once safe, open the lid and check for food stuck to the bottom of the inner pot.
- Deglaze the pot: Remove food, add 1–2 cups of water, and scrape the bottom with a non-metal utensil to remove stuck-on bits.
- Clean heating plate: Remove the inner pot and wipe the heating plate clean and dry. Ensure no residue remains.
- Adjust recipe: Add more liquid, avoid thick sauces at the start, and layer starchy foods (like rice) above liquids without stirring.
- Check inner pot condition: Replace a warped or heavily discolored inner pot to ensure proper heat distribution.
