Water or starchy liquid leaks from the sides or bottom of the multicooker onto the countertop.

Safety first: Unplug the cooker and let it cool before lifting or tilting it.

• Check fill level: Ensure you never exceed the MAX line, and use lower levels for foamy foods like rice or beans.
• Inspect condensation collector: Many Kenwood models have a removable condensation cup at the rear. Ensure it is installed correctly and not overflowing or blocked.
• Inspect inner pot: Remove and check for cracks, especially around the base weld. Replace if any damage is found.
• Check inner lid gasket: If your model has an inner lid with a small gasket, clean and inspect it for damage.

Persistent leakage from the base may indicate internal seal failure and should be inspected by a technician.
