Safety instructions

DANGER! Electric shock hazard: Never immerse the device, power cord, or plug in water. Do not operate with wet hands or on a wet floor. Ensure the power cable is not damaged, bent, or in contact with heat sources.

HOT SURFACE! Burn hazard: The body and lid become very hot during operation. Always use the lid snap lock to open the device. Allow the device to cool down before moving it or removing the inner pot.

HOT STEAM! Risk of scalding: Steam escapes from the release valve during cooking. Be careful when opening the lid to avoid steam burns.

Installation

Place the device on an even, stable, and dry surface. Do not place it near open flames or heat sources. Ensure the power supply matches the device specifications (230V). Connect the device directly to a properly installed single socket with a protective terminal; do not use extension cords or power strips.

Operation

Preparation: Measure the rice using the provided measuring cup. Place the burn-proof pad on the bottom of the inner pot. Add the rice and water according to the markings in the inner pot or the rice/water quantity table provided in the manual. Ensure the external surface of the inner pot is dry before placing it into the outer pot.

Cooking: Close the lid until it clicks. Connect to power and press the switch down. The red Cooking indicator will light up. Once cooking is complete, the device automatically switches to the orange Keep warm indicator. For fluffier rice, keep the lid closed for 10-15 minutes after cooking.

Cleaning and maintenance

Always disconnect the device from the power supply and let it cool down before cleaning. Never clean the device or inner pot in a dishwasher. Use warm water with a mild cleaning agent and a soft cloth to clean the inner lid, inner pot, and accessories. Do not use abrasive agents or metal tools that could damage the non-stick coating. Clean the outer pot with a soft, damp cloth. Always empty and clean the condensation tray after every use.
