Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the bottom.
Ensure sufficient cooking oil or liquid is used, especially when searing. For braising and stewing, the liquid content should prevent sticking. Allow food to cook slightly before attempting to move it.
Uneven cooking.
Verify the stovetop heat is distributed evenly under the pan. Ensure the lid is properly seated to trap heat and steam effectively.
Condensation buildup inside the lid is excessive.
This is normal for steaming and stewing and helps distribute moisture. If it becomes problematic, briefly remove the lid to allow some steam to escape.
Cannot add liquid through the aroma knob.
Ensure the aroma knob is properly aligned and not blocked. Gently insert liquid into the designated opening.
