●

To ensure heat is distributed evenly and sufficiently, avoid filling the rice up to more than half of the inner pan.

Note: When reheating a small quantity of rice (about 1 cup), gather it to the center of the inner pan to prevent from drying up and serve it as soon as possible.

STEP 3. Press the Start key

REHEATING EXCEPTIONS:

●

Rice would dry out if reheated under any of the following conditions:

Rice has just been cooked and is still hot

The cooked rice quantity is less than the minimum quantity of uncooked rice (refer to respective

Rice is reheated three or more times repeatedly.

●

When the rice is not warm enough (below about 55°C (131°F)), it cannot be reheated. In such a case, the rice cooker generates a beep-beep-beep alarm to indicate that the rice cannot be reheated.

19

STEP 4. Press the Start key

The remaining reheated time will be displayed when it reaches the last 5 minutes.

●

Always keep the inner pan and lid clean to prevent corrosion and odors.

●

Use synthetic detergent for kitchens only. Do not use any other detergents or cleaning materials such as thinner cleansers, chemical cleaning cloths, nylon brushes, and any other similar products.

Cleaning Inner Pan and Spatula

After use, soak the inner pan and the spatula with mild soap before washing. Use a mild sponge and wipe off the water completely afterwards.

❙

Cleaning Rice Cooker and Lid

1. Wipe off any dirt from the rice cooker's body, inside and outside of the lid with a slightly dampened cloth.

2. Remove scorched rice, if any, from the center sensor and the heater plate.

If dirt is hard to remove, apply commercial sandpaper (around #320), and wipe it off with a damp cloth.

●

Avoid water from entering the mechanism inside the body.

●

Do not try to remove the rubber gasket inside of the lid.

❙

How to Deodorize (when the rice cooker has an unpleasant odor)

1. Pour hot water into the inner pan up to about seven-tenths or eight-tenths of the capacity. Keep it warm for a couple of hours in the normal “Keep warm” mode.

2. Clean the inner pan with kitchen-use synthetic detergent. Rinse it off sufficiently.

3. Dry the rice cooker body and all other parts in a well-ventilated place.
