Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Place the rice cooker on a flat, heat-resistant, and dry surface. Ensure the outer surface of the inner pot is completely dry before inserting it into the heating chamber to prevent damage to the unit.
Compatibility: This model is compatible with standard household electrical outlets. It is intended for indoor use only. Avoid placing the unit under low-hanging cabinets where steam could accumulate and potentially damage surfaces.
Care & Cleaning: Always unplug the device before cleaning. The inner pot is nonstick, so use only wooden or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the surface. The inner pot and the detachable lid should be washed with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Never submerge the main body of the cooker in water.
