CLEANING, CARE & MAINTENANCE
Attention to regular care and maintenance will ensure long and trouble free
operation of your Rice Cooker. Although scheduled servicing is not required we do
recommend you adopt a program of regular maintenance to ensure that the Rice
Cooker is clean and functional and to avoid inadvertently damaging the unit.
The bowl has a non-stick coating on the inside. Do not use metal implements as
they will damage the coating which can cause rice to stick to the bowl and burn.
Daily cleaning should be considered mandatory for all cooking equipment. In order
to ensure the proper cleaning and to avoid damage to the Rice Cooker the
instructions below should be followed.

Ensure power to the unit is off, the Rice Cooker is unplugged and cool before
attempting to clean any part of the machine.

Do not immerse the Rice Cooker in water. Wipe the outside of the Rice Cooker
down using a damp sponge or cloth.

To clean the bowl, soak it in hot soapy water and gently clean the bottom with a
cloth. Caution: do not press down too hard when cleaning, or drop anything onto
the bottom of the bowl, as this can cause warping and inhibits the proper
functioning of the rice cooker.

Wipe the cooker body and bowl dry before storing.

Do not clean this unit with the use of a water jet.
IMPORTANT
It is important that the rice bowl is kept in good condition and the bowl and heating
plate surface is free from foreign debris. If the bowl is dented or foreign debris lies
between the bowl and heating plate, isolated hot spots can occur in the heating plate,
creating the potential to cause serious damage to the unit.
If the bowl has been dented or an obstruction exist between the bowl and heating
plate, the Rice Cooker is fitted with a power cut-out device to protect the machine
(see
Troubleshooting for information regarding the Self-holding Thermal Limiter).
