How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Allow the cooker to cool before cleaning burnt food.

  • Adjust recipes: Increase the amount of liquid and avoid very thick sauces during pressure cooking. Stir ingredients before starting.
  • Inspect inner pot: Check for scratches, peeling non‑stick coating, or warping. Replace the inner pot if damaged.
  • Clean heating plate: Remove any burnt residue from the heating plate to ensure even contact.
  • Check sensor: If burning persists even with adequate liquid, test or replace the bottom temperature sensor as it may be reading incorrectly.
