Troubleshooting

Appliance does not turn on.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet and the appliance itself. Check if the outlet is functioning by plugging in another device.

Food is undercooked.

Verify that the correct heat setting and duration were used according to the recipe. Ensure the lid was kept on during cooking and that the ingredients were not overcrowded.

Food is overcooked or burnt.

Check if a longer cooking time or a higher heat setting than necessary was selected. Ensure the 'Keep Warm' setting is not left on for excessively long periods if it causes overcooking.

Liquid is escaping from the lid.

Ensure the glass lid is properly seated on the ceramic pot. Minor steam escaping is normal, but significant liquid loss may indicate the lid is not sealed correctly.

Ceramic pot has a crack or chip.

Discontinue use immediately. Contact customer support for a replacement part. Do not attempt to use a damaged inner pot.
