Burnt food stuck to bottom, frequent 'burn' smell, food scorches before program ends

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the cooker. Allow it to cool before cleaning.

• Adjust recipes: Add more liquid and avoid thick layers of food directly on the bottom in pressure or rice modes.
• Use original pot: Only use the Severin inner pot designed for your model to ensure proper heat distribution.
• Check pot base: Replace the pot if the base is visibly warped or uneven.
• Inspect sensor: If burning occurs even with adequate liquid, test and replace the bottom NTC sensor as needed.

Warning: Do not scrape the heating plate; only clean the removable pot. Scratched plates can create hot spots.
