Strong burnt smell or visible smoke from the cooker during use.

Safety first: Immediately unplug the cooker. If smoke continues, move it to a safe, ventilated area away from combustibles.

• Allow to cool: Do not open the lid until it is safe and any pressure is released.
• Inspect interior: Remove the inner pot and check for burnt food on the heating plate. Clean thoroughly once cool.
• Check for melted parts: Look for deformed plastic around the lid, steam valve, or accessories left inside.
• Internal inspection: If the smell is electrical (sharp, acrid) or you see burnt wiring, discontinue use and have the unit professionally inspected.
