Persistent unpleasant odor (plastic, chemical, or rancid smell) from the multicooker even after cleaning.

Safety: Unplug and cool before cleaning.

• 1. Deep clean lid assembly: Remove the lid gasket, inner lid plate, steam cap, and anti-block shield. Wash all removable parts with hot soapy water and dry completely.
• 2. Clean condensate system: Remove and scrub the condensate collector and the channel leading to it. Allow to dry fully.
• 3. Replace gasket if needed: If the silicone gasket retains strong odors after cleaning, replace it with a new Toshiba gasket.
• 4. Deodorize inner pot: Boil a mixture of water and a few tablespoons of white vinegar in the cooker on a non-pressure program, then rinse thoroughly.

Do not use harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners on plastic or silicone parts; they can accelerate degradation.
