Strong burning smell or visible smoke from the multicooker during use.

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the unit immediately. If smoke continues, move it to a safe, non-combustible area.

• Check for burnt food: After cooling, remove the inner pot and inspect the heating plate and underside of the pot for burnt-on food. Clean thoroughly.
• Smell test: If the burning smell is plastic or electrical rather than food, do not reuse the cooker until inspected.
• Inspect cord and exterior: Look for scorch marks or melted plastic around vents or the power cord.
• Professional inspection: Electrical burning smells indicate internal component failure and require service or replacement.
