Display shows a water-related message (e.g., “ADD H2O”, “WATR”) and the cooker stops heating.

Safety first: Press Cancel and unplug the cooker before adding liquid.

• Check inner pot: Confirm the inner pot is installed and seated correctly. Never operate the cooker without the inner pot.
• Add liquid: For pressure and rice modes, add at least the minimum amount of water or broth specified in the Our Place manual.
• Stir thick foods: For thick sauces or stews, stir and add more liquid to prevent scorching at the bottom.
• Restart program: After adding liquid and reseating the pot, restart the program and monitor for normal operation.

If the water warning appears even with adequate liquid and a properly seated pot, the bottom sensor or control board may be faulty.
