7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Moosum Mini Electric Hot Pot, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Appliance does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the appliance base and a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the control knob is set to an active cooking mode (Oatmeal, Slow Cook, or Boil), not "Off".
• Food is not heating or cooking slowly:
  • Verify that the correct cooking mode is selected for your desired temperature.
  • Ensure the lid is properly placed to retain heat.
• Appliance suddenly turns off during operation:
  • This is likely due to the Over-heating Protection or Boil-dry Protection activating. Check if there is sufficient liquid in the pot.
  • Unplug the appliance, allow it to cool down for several minutes, then add more liquid if necessary before restarting.
• Food sticks to the bottom of the pot:
  • Ensure adequate liquid is used for the recipe.
  • Stir contents periodically, especially when cooking thicker foods or those prone to sticking.
  • For oatmeal, use the dedicated "Oatmeal" setting to maintain a lower, more consistent temperature.
