Display shows "HOT" and the cooker will not start a new pressure program.

Safety first: Use oven mitts when handling a hot inner pot.

• Cool the pot: Cancel the program and remove the inner pot carefully. Allow it to cool on a heat-safe surface.
• Clean the bottom: If food is stuck or burned on the bottom, soak and clean the pot thoroughly.
• Check liquid level: Before starting a pressure program, ensure you have at least the minimum recommended liquid (consult your Zavor manual).
• Wipe sensor area: With the pot removed and cooker unplugged, wipe the heating plate and temperature sensor gently and dry completely.
• Retry: Reinsert the pot with adequate liquid and restart the program. If "HOT" appears immediately on a cool pot, the temperature sensor may be faulty.
