Persistent unpleasant odor from the multicooker, even when empty or after cleaning.

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before deep cleaning.

• Deep clean lid: Remove the sealing ring, anti-block shield, steam release valve, and float valve. Wash all removable parts in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry.
• Clean condensation collector: Remove and wash the condensation cup and the channel leading to it.
• Deodorize: Run a short steam cycle with water and a few tablespoons of white vinegar in the inner pot, then rinse thoroughly.
• Replace gasket if needed: If odors persist, replace the silicone sealing ring, as it can absorb strong smells.
