Persistent food odor from the lid and sealing ring even after washing.

Safety first: Ensure the cooker is unplugged and cool before disassembling the lid.

• Remove sealing ring: Take out the silicone ring and wash it in hot, soapy water. Rinse and air dry.
• Deep clean lid: Remove the anti-block shield, steam release valve, and float valve. Clean all parts thoroughly.
• Deodorize ring: Soak the sealing ring in a solution of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water for 30–60 minutes, then rinse.
• Use multiple rings: Consider keeping separate sealing rings for savory and sweet dishes to minimize odor transfer.
