Remove and discard any packaging material, stickers, and tape from the unit.
Remove all accessories from the package and read this manual carefully. Please pay particular attention to operational instructions, warnings, and important safeguards to avoid any injury or property damage.
Wash the main base unit, inner cooking pot, glass lid, and spoon–ladle with a damp, soapy cloth, then rinse with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. NEVER submerge the main unit in water.
