Unusual burning smell or electrical odor during operation.

Safety first: Immediately unplug the cooker if you smell strong burning or see smoke. Do not continue using until inspected.

• Inspect cooking area: After cooling, remove the inner pot and check for burnt food on the heater plate or inner walls. Clean thoroughly.
• Check exterior and bottom: Look for discoloration, melted plastic, or scorch marks around the base and vents.
• Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the bottom cover (unplugged) and inspect wiring, connectors, and the PCB for burnt spots or melted insulation.
• Do not ignore odors: If any internal components show heat damage, discontinue use and have the unit professionally repaired or replaced.
