6. Safety Precautions

• Do not touch the inner pot directly with your hands during or immediately after use, as it will be hot. Use oven mitts or wait for it to cool.
• Do not place the product on an unbalanced, damp surface, or near fire or other heat sources.
• Do not place the inner pot on another heat source (e.g., a stove burner).
• Do not use steel wool or other hard objects to clean or scrub the inner pot, as this will damage the non-stick coating.
• Do not insert or remove the power plug with wet hands.
• Keep the appliance out of reach of children.
• Always ensure the lid is properly closed during operation.
• Do not overfill the inner pot.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your multi cooker, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
