How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately unplug the cooker. If smoke is heavy, move it to a safe, ventilated area. Do not open the lid while under pressure.

  • Check for food burning: After pressure is fully released and the unit cools, open and inspect the inner pot and bottom. Clean any burnt-on food.
  • Inspect base for residue: Remove the inner pot and look for oil or food on the heating plate. Clean thoroughly.
  • Open base (advanced): With the unit unplugged and cool, remove the bottom cover and inspect for melted insulation, burnt wires, or charred components.

If any internal components show signs of burning, do not use the cooker until it has been professionally repaired.
