Water or condensation collects under the cooker or on the countertop during use.

Safety first: Unplug the cooker and dry the exterior before handling.

• Check condensation collector: Many Salter models have a removable plastic condensation cup on the side or back. Ensure it is installed correctly and not cracked.
• Clean channels: Inspect the small channel or spout on the lid that directs condensation into the collector. Clean any buildup.
• Inspect inner pot: Remove and fill with water, then check for leaks or hairline cracks. Replace the pot if any are found.
• Adjust fill level: Avoid filling above the recommended level, especially for boiling or steaming programs.

Replacing a damaged condensation collector or inner pot usually resolves leakage onto the countertop.
