Inner pot coating is peeling or scratched; food sticks and discolors easily.

Safety first: Do not ingest flakes of non-stick coating. Replace damaged pots promptly.

• Stop using metal tools: Switch to silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils.
• Gentle cleaning: Use soft sponges only. Avoid scouring powders.
• Replace pot: If the coating is significantly damaged, purchase a genuine Kenwood replacement inner pot compatible with your model.

Continuing to use a heavily damaged pot can affect cooking performance and safety.
