Troubleshooting

cooling fan in operation. This is normal.
Water level in the tank is too low, causing the pump to suck air. You may also see small bubbles in your tank. Add more water

and make sure the water level meets or exceeds the MIN level mark on the cooker.

Water pump cap is loose. Refit the cap and ensure it is securely fixed to stainless-steel body.
Stainless-steel heater cover is loose. Try tightened the screw on

the heater cover. If it keeps producing noise, please return the unit to Kmart.

Food not heated properly| Make sure the sealed food pack is not floating. It is vital that the food bag stays submerged. In case air bubbles are trapped inside

the food pack, reseal the bag before continuing cooking.
