How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker and allow it to cool before inspecting the heating plate.
Steps to correct misalignment:
- 1. Inspect inner pot: Place the pot on a flat countertop and check if it wobbles. If the base is warped, replace the pot with a genuine Steba inner pot.
- 2. Clean heating plate: Remove any rice, beans, or debris from the heating plate. Wipe with a soft cloth.
- 3. Check plate support: With the base removed, inspect the springs or support posts that hold the heating plate. Replace any broken springs or bent brackets.
- 4. Gently level plate: If the plate is slightly bent, it may be possible to carefully straighten it, but significant deformation requires replacing the heating plate assembly.
Proper contact between pot and plate is essential for accurate temperature control and even cooking.
