AFTER EACH USE:
■ Unplug from the outlet before cleaning
and detach the cord from the Cooker.
■ NEVER place the body of the Cooker in
water or other liquid.
■ If rice sticks to the Inner Bowl, fill it with
hot soapy water and let it soak for 30
minutes before cleaning.
■ The body should be cleaned by wiping
the inside and outside surfaces with a
damp soapy cloth and drying thoroughly.
■ If water should accidentally enter the
switch mechanism, power cord inlet
socket, or spill onto the heating plate,
allow to dry thoroughly before using the
Cooker again.
■ The Inner Bowl and Lid may be washed in
warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or metal scouring pads.
Scratching or denting the surface of the
Bowl could result in poor contact with the
heating plate.
■ DO NOT keep small amounts of rice warm
in the Cooker for extended periods.
■ If you have steamed other ingredients
with the rice, the time stored at ‘WARM’
should be kept to a minimum to avoid
unpleasant aromas.
■ When cooking a large quantity of rice,
take extra care to add the correct
quantity of water to avoid boiling over.
