E16 error, display flickers and cooker shuts down

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before inspecting the power cord or internal connections.

• Check outlet: Test the wall socket with another high‑power appliance to ensure it delivers stable power.
• Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, kinks, or burn marks on the Severin power cord. Replace the cord if any damage is found.
• Check internal connections: Remove the bottom cover and verify that the mains input terminals and strain relief are secure.
• Avoid extension leads: Plug the cooker directly into a wall outlet rather than a long extension cord or multi‑adapter.

Warning: If you smell burning or see arcing at the mains input, stop using the appliance and have it professionally inspected.
