Cleaning Instructions.
NOTE: The use of metal or hard scrapers may damage the appliance and void
the warranty
Always unplug the rice cooker and make sure it has completely
cooled before cleaning.
1. Remove the inner cooking pot. Wash it in warm, soapy water using a
sponge or dishcloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or
products that are not considered safe to use on non-stick coatings.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NOTE: lf the cooking pot is still wet on the outside, a cracking sound may
occur as the cooker heats up and it might damage the cooker.
• Keep the cooking pot extremely clean especially if salty ingredients have
been used. Salt is very corrosive and will damage the non-stick lining.
• The non-stick coating will discolor after a period of use. This is normal and
will not affect your health or the use of the cooker.
2. Detach the inner lid from the center shaft by gently tugging it outwards.
Soak briefl y and wash clean.
3. Gently remove the water collector (fi tted onto the side of the rice cooker) by
pulling downwards. Discard the water after each use. Clean and replace the
collector.
4. Clean other surfaces with a damp cloth.
5.
Make sure the heating plate is clean and free of food or other articles that
could interfere with the proper functioning of the rice cooker. Residue could be
removed by gently scrubbing the heating plate with a piece of steel wool, then
wipe and dry the heating plate to ensure a good contact with the cooking pan is
maintained.
6. Do not immerse the rice cooker in water or any liquid.
7. NOTE: Never cleaning the cooker when it is still hot.
