Inner pot coating is peeling or scratched, and food sticks badly.

Safety first: Do not continue cooking in a severely damaged non-stick pot.

• Inspect coating: Look for large areas of peeling or exposed metal. Minor surface scratches are cosmetic, but flaking coating is a sign to replace.
• Avoid metal tools: Use only plastic, silicone, or wooden utensils in the inner pot.
• Replace inner pot: Purchase a genuine Philips replacement inner pot compatible with your model to ensure proper heating and safety.
