Removing odors
(When odors remain in the rice cooker and/or cooking plate)
The following procedure should be performed each time after cooking, or if odors become bothersome.
Note
●
Be careful of the hot inner pot, cooking plate, and rice cooker after cleaning. Touching them may result in
burns.
Rice cooker
Do not place the cooking plate inside the inner pot.
1
Fill the inner pot to about 70
to 80% with water, select the
“Plain” menu and press the
[Start] key.
Confirm that the Keep Warm
lamp is on and press the
[KeepWarm/Cancel] key.
Note
●
If odors become bothersome, use about 20g of citric
acid added to the water for more effective deodorizing.
It may be impossible to remove some odors
completely. In this case, contact the place of
purchase.
2
Wash the inner pot and pressure
control cap with a standard
kitchen detergent, and then
rinse sufficiently with water.
3
Allow the rice cooker and all
parts to dry in a well-ventilated
location.
Cooking plate
Immerse the cooking plate in hot water and allow it
to soak for about 1 hour.
