Cleaning and Maintenance

Any repair services not described in this manual should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
To maintain cleanliness, always clean the rice cooker on the same day it is used. Also clean the rice cooker
periodically.
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.31)
Note
● Be sure to disconnect the power plug and allow the rice cooker, inner pot, inner lid, and steam cap to cool
down before cleaning.
● Always keep the inner pot and lid clean to prevent corrosion and odors.
● Do not clean the rice cooker or its parts using thinner, cleanser, bleach, chemically treated cloths, metal
spatulas, nylon scrubbing sponges, or the like.
● Always clean each part separately.
● Do not use a dishwasher/dryer to clean the inner pot and other parts. Doing so may cause the rice cooker
and/or its parts to become deformed or discolored.
 W hen cleaning the rice cooker with a detergent, use only a mild detergent (for dishes
and kitchen utensils).
* Rinse the parts thoroughly since detergent remaining on them may result in deterioration and discoloration of
parts' materials such as plastic.
* Using any detergent other than mild detergents can cause discoloration,
corrosion, etc.
 C lean using a soft sponge and cloth.
 D o not use the abrasive side of a heavy-duty scrubbing sponge or melamine sponge.
Doing so may damage the fluorocarbon resin coating of the inner pot.

Do not use the abrasive
side of a heavy-duty
scrubbing sponge.
(1) Wash it well using a sponge with detergent
diluted with cold or lukewarm water.
(2) Wipe off the water using a dry cloth and
completely dry all parts.
Note
● Thoroughly clean the inside and outside
of the inner pot after every use.
● Do not wash dishes, etc. inside the inner
pot. Also, do not place the inner pot
upside down on top of dishes, etc., to dry.
Doing so may damage the fluorocarbon
resin coating or cause it to peel.
● Do not immerse the measuring cup and spatula in hot water.
Doing so may cause them to become deformed.
The steam cap can be rinsed.
(1) Wash it well using a sponge with detergent
diluted with cold or lukewarm water.
(2) Wipe off the water using a dry cloth and
completely dry all parts.
Note
● Do not use the following methods to clean as the steam cap
may be deformed.
Steam cap
• Rinsing with hot water. • Soaking in water.
(Separate it into 2 parts.
• Washing hot parts under running water immediately after

cooking.
● Be sure to clean the steam cap after cooking rice with barley
or other grains (amaranth, etc.). The steam cap may clog
and cause problems, like preventing the lid from opening,
resulting in improperly cooked food.
● After cleaning the steam cap, wipe it off using a dry cloth
immediately. Not drying the cap can leave water droplet
marks.
(1) Wash it well using a sponge with detergent
diluted with cold or lukewarm water.
(2) Wipe off the water using a dry cloth and
completely dry all parts.
Condensation can be formed more easily on the dirty inner lid.
Note
● Be sure to remove any cooked rice or grains of rice adhering
Inner lid
to the inner lid.
Any rice on the inner lid can prevent the lid from closing,
allow steam to leak out during cooking, or enable the lid to
open and the contents to spray out, resulting in burns or
other injury.
● Be sure to clean the inner lid after cooking rice with barley
or other grains (amaranth, etc.). Otherwise the inner lid may
be clogged, causing a problem like the lid does not open or
rice cannot be cooked properly.
● If there is any significant food staining, soak the part in
lukewarm water.
● Thoroughly wipe the inner lid using a dry cloth after cleaning
it so that no moisture remains in any gaps. Otherwise, water
drops may leave marks on the inner lid.
