Persistent bad odor from inside the multicooker, even after normal cleaning.

Safety first: Unplug the cooker and ensure it is cool before deep cleaning.

Deep cleaning steps:

• Remove the inner pot, sealing ring, anti-block shield, and inner lid plate. Wash all removable parts in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Clean the condensation collector (if equipped) and the channel leading to it.
• Wipe the inside of the lid and cooker body with a solution of water and white vinegar (1:1), then wipe with clean water and dry.

Sealing ring treatment:

• Soak the silicone sealing ring in warm water with baking soda for 1–2 hours to reduce odors.
• If odors persist, replace the sealing ring; silicone can permanently absorb strong smells.
