If the cooked rice smells bad when kept warm
-
Clean the product frequently. In particular, germs can quickly spread and
cause a foul odor to develop if the lid and its parts are not kept in a clean state.
-
Not cleaning the inner pot and other parts of the rice cooker can allow
germs to spread and cause cooked rice to smell. In this case, fill the
inner pot with a mixture of water and vinegar, perform Auto Clean and
wash it cleanly. (Ratio: One tablespoon of vinegar with water at the Auto
Clean water level)
-
If you keep rice warm without cleaning the pot thoroughly after cooking
soups or steamed dishes in the pot, rice may take on the smell of the
previously cooked food.
Make sure that the clean cover is securely engaged.
If rice grains or other
foreign substances
are attached, wipe
them off with a dry
kitchen towel.
Especially, clean
the steam vent
frequently.

Getting rid of the smell when cooking using old rice
Older rice tends to develop an unpleasant smell when cooked, which only
gets worse when kept warm. To solve the problem, take out the uncooked
rice in the previous evening, soak it for a while in water with a drop of
vinegar added to it, and then rinse the rice clean. In the next morning, rinse
the rice once more using lukewarm water just before cooking.
