How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker and allow it to cool before cleaning.

  • Clean inner pot: Wash the inner pot with warm soapy water, removing all food residue and starch film.
  • Wipe heating plate: With a damp cloth, gently clean the heating plate and sensor area. Do not pour water into the base.
  • Descale if needed: If you see white mineral deposits, run a cycle with water and a small amount of white vinegar in the inner pot, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Reset reminder: Follow the user manual instructions to clear the CLn reminder (often by holding a specific button combination).
