Maintenance Guide

  1. Unplug the plug from the wall socket before cleaning. Wait until the unit is cold to clean.
  2. Clean the outside of the rice cooker with a damp cloth. Then clean the outside of the rice cooker with a dry cloth again.
  3. Clean the inner pot with a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use a rough cleaning tool as it will damage the nonstick coating.
  4. Unplug the water reservoir and dispose of the water contained therein.
  5. Clean the heater pieces with a damp cloth, then dry the heater pieces with a clean dry cloth.

Unique Features

  • EASY ONE-TOUCH OPERATION: A simple push-button/ON-OFF control switch assures ease of operation.
  • AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF AND WARMING FUNCTIONS: When the rice is cooked, the rice cooker shuts off the switches automatically to the warm function.

Cleaning

  1. Disconnect the plug connection from the wall before cleaning.
  2. DO NOT immerse any part of the outer body into the water. Wipe clean with a dishcloth.
  3. To clean the cooking pot, soak in hot sudsy water then gently clean the bottom of the cooking pot with a dish cloth. BE CAREFUL not to press down too hard, or drop anything on the bottom of the cooking pot, as this can cause warping and inhibit the proper functioning of the rice cooker.
  4. Wipe the cooker body and cooking pot dry before storing.

Suggestions

For Best Results:

  1. When washing rice, use warm water and wash lightly. Do not scrub with force. Pour out the water quickly, and repeat the process 2 to 3 times until the rice is clean.
  2. After the rice is washed, it should be immersed in water for 30-60 minutes before cooking.
  3. The amount of water needed will depend on the type and quality of the rice. Generally, 1 cup of rice requires 1 cup of water.
  4. For best results, do not keep rice warm for more than 12 hours.
