Cleaning and Maintenance
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
Perform cleaning and maintenance procedures as described on the following p.30 to 33.
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.33.)
Note
●
Be sure to disconnect the power plug and allow the rice cooker, inner pot, inner lid, and pressure control
cap to cool down before cleaning.
●
Clean with a soft sponge and cloth.
●
When cleaning the rice cooker with a detergent, use only standard kitchen detergent (for tableware and
kitchen utensils).

Rinse the parts thoroughly since detergent remaining on them may result in deterioration and discoloration
of part’s materials such as resin.
