6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Sunvivi Double Slow Cooker, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Unit Not Turning On:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional electrical outlet.
  • Check if the control knob is set to 'LOW', 'HIGH', or 'WARM' and not 'OFF'.
  • Verify that the electrical outlet is receiving power by testing it with another appliance.
• Food Not Heating Properly:
  • Confirm that the selected temperature setting ('LOW' or 'HIGH') is appropriate for your recipe.
  • Ensure the lid is properly seated on the ceramic pot to prevent heat loss.
  • Avoid frequently lifting the lid, as this can significantly extend cooking times.
  • Check that the ceramic pot is correctly placed in the heating well.
• Food Burning or Sticking:
  • Ensure there is sufficient liquid in the pot, especially when cooking on 'HIGH' for extended periods.
  • Reduce the cooking time or switch to a 'LOW' or 'WARM' setting if food is cooking too quickly.
  • The ceramic pots have a non-stick surface, but adding a small amount of oil or cooking spray can further prevent sticking for certain recipes.
