Inner pot is difficult to remove; it seems stuck to the heating plate after cooking.

Safety: Allow the cooker to cool before attempting to free the pot.

• Break the seal: Gently rotate the inner pot left and right while lifting. Do not use sharp tools that can damage the heating plate.
• Soften residue: Pour warm water around the edge between the pot and housing (not directly onto electronics) and let it sit to loosen sticky residue.
• Inspect pot bottom: Once removed, check the pot bottom for warping or burnt sugar/starch. Clean thoroughly and avoid high‑sugar recipes without enough liquid.
• Check heating plate: Clean the plate surface with a soft cloth. If the non‑stick coating of the pot is peeling, replace the inner pot to prevent further sticking.
