How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use caution when opening the lid; steam may be hotter than expected.

  • Avoid extended warm times: Limit Keep Warm duration, especially for small portions.
  • Add moisture: Add a small amount of water or sauce before activating Keep Warm to prevent drying.
  • Check sensor contact: Inspect the bottom NTC sensor and ensure it is firmly attached to the heating plate.
  • Test with water: Fill the pot with water and measure temperature during Keep Warm with a kitchen thermometer. If it is significantly above typical holding temperatures (around 60–75°C), the sensor or control board may be faulty.
