Cleaning and Maintenance
Perform cleaning and maintenance procedures as described on the following p.31 to 36.
Any other servicing such as repairs should be performed by an authorized service engineer.
Clean all parts by hand. Do not use a dishwasher/dryer.
To maintain cleanliness, always clean the rice cooker on the same day it is used. Also clean the rice cooker at
regular intervals as well.
The rice cooker should also be cleaned on the day that it is used in order to remove any odors that remain
from cooking. (See p.36.)
Note
● Be sure to disconnect the power plug and allow the rice cooker, inner pot, inner lid, and steam cap to cool
down before cleaning.
● When cleaning the rice cooker with a detergent, use only standard kitchen detergent (for tableware and
kitchen utensils).
● Clean with a soft sponge and cloth.
● Rinse the parts thoroughly since detergent constituent remaining on them may result in deterioration and
discoloration of part’s materials such as resin.

• Do not fill the cooking plate for the 1.0 L (5.5-cup) type any higher than 3 cm, or 4 cm with the 1.8 L (10-
cup) type. Doing so may result in the food touching the lid and becoming wet and soggy.
• Do not allow the center hole of the inner lid to be blocked with ingredients.
• The steaming times above are only a guideline and the required time will differ depending upon the
temperature, quality, and quantity of the ingredients.
• If steaming is still not complete, you can steam for an additional period of time based on how well the food
is cooked.
• Normally, there will not be enough water for additional steaming. Add water to prevent the inner pot from
running dry.
• If you steam meat and fish, etc., for too long, they will become hard. If food does not steam sufficiently at
shorter times, cut into thinner slices.
• Always wrap fish, etc., in aluminum foil for steaming. Failure to do so may result in the contents of the
cooking plate boiling over.
