2. Remove the cooking pot and steamer (if used) from the heating base.

5.2 Non-Stick Surface Care

• While the pot features a durable non-stick honeycomb structure, using wooden or silicone utensils is recommended to prolong its lifespan.
• Avoid cutting food directly in the pot.
• For stubborn food residues, soak the pot in warm soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.

6. Troubleshooting

• Appliance not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the appliance and a working electrical outlet. Check if the outlet has power.
• Food not heating: Verify that the temperature setting is correctly selected and the appliance is powered on. Allow sufficient time for preheating.
• Food sticking to the pot: Although designed with a non-stick surface, ensure adequate oil or liquid is used, especially when frying. Avoid overheating an empty pot.
