Possible Causes

Insufficient liquid, Thick sauces or starch-heavy foods on bottom, Food layered too thick without deglazing, Inner pot not making full contact with sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker and release pressure according to the manual before opening.

  • Open and inspect: After pressure is released, open the lid and check the bottom of the pot for stuck or burnt food.
  • Remove burnt food: Transfer salvageable food to another container. Soak and scrub the inner pot to remove burnt residue.
  • Deglaze properly: When restarting, add liquid and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to remove any remaining stuck bits before closing the lid.
  • Adjust cooking method: For thick sauces, cook under pressure with extra liquid and thicken after pressure cooking using Sauté mode.
  • Check pot fit: Ensure the inner pot is not warped and sits flat on the heating plate.

Warning: Repeated burn errors without cleaning can damage the nonstick surface and sensors.
