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

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the cooker immediately. Do not inhale smoke directly.

• Remove inner pot: Check if food is severely burnt inside. Clean the pot thoroughly or replace if damaged.
• Inspect heating plate: After cooling, wipe away any burnt residue or oil from the plate and surrounding area.
• Internal inspection (advanced): If the smell is electrical (sharp, acrid) rather than food, open the base and look for burnt wires or components. Do not use the cooker until damaged parts are replaced.
• Service recommended: Electrical burning smells usually require professional diagnosis and replacement of the heater or PCB.
