3. Dry the rice cooker body and all other parts in a well-ventilated place.
❙ Detaching and Installing the Inner Lid (JBA-T model)
Pull it toward yourself to detach the inner lid.
To attach the inner lid back, align the center gasket lid
to the rivet and also make sure the inner lid covers the
innermost then simply use both hands to push it in.
CAUTION:
● When mounting the inner lid, be sure to check that the
inner-lid sealing ring contacts the inner side of the inner
lid edge.
● The inner-lid sealing ring contacts the inner side of the
inner lid edge.
● The inner-lid sealing ring protrudes from the inner lid.
● When the inner-lid sealing ring comes off; insert it all the
way to the end while paying attention to the direction of
the sealing ring.

❙ Detaching and Installing the Steam Cap

Press with a finger into the concave area on the lid, and pull the cap
upward to detach it.
To install the cap, follow the procedure in the reverse.
CAUTION:
● If the gasket on the Steam cap becomes loose, mount it tightly in the
right direction.
● Make sure all the gaskets are completely in their place before using
the unit; otherwise, steam may leak and causes rice to not be fully
cooked.

❙ Cleaning the Heater Plate

Hot water may drip from the lid while cooking and stain the
surface of the heater plate. This does not affect the overall
performance to the rice cooker; however, you may wipe it off if
concerned as shown in below:
1. Use a plastic kitchen sponge and a small amount of cream cleaner
and scrub away the stain on the surface.
2. Use wet kitchen paper towels or cloth and wipe the stain off.
