- Next, you must remove the upper black trim which is connected to the inside liner with tabs. To do this you must hold the interior walls still, while rotating the trim so that the tabs line up with the slots. (tabs cannot be seen at this point, pics are to give you an idea of what you cannot see inside the device)

I have ARC 5000SB - wanted to use this in India under 220V. Tried removing to see if I can attach voltage transformer in control circuit .. I am pretty sure no issue to heater. But couldn’t open fully … some wires are attached to lid and not possible to open upper plastic rim to access bottom circuit… any suggestions

Yeah, we had a lot of trouble opening it, we had to pry off the plastic from the metal to get access to those wires. It will break a few plastic tabs that hold it firmly in the metal ring. These really as we found serve no function other than preventing you from opening the cooker. It just is a hassle to get open so that you can work on these wires.
