Product Overview
The rice cooker consists of the main body, a removable inner pot, a lid with a steam vent, a control panel, and a water collection tray. Included accessories are a rice paddle, measuring cup, steaming tray, and power cord.

Safety Precautions
- Use a power outlet compatible with the appliance's power rating.
- Do not plug in other high-power devices into the same outlet simultaneously.
- Never operate the cooker without the inner pot inside.
- Keep the bottom of the inner pot and the heating plate clean and dry.
- Do not use the cooker for purposes other than those specified in the manual.
- Do not immerse the main body in water.
- Avoid using hard or abrasive tools (like steel wool) to clean the inner pot to prevent damaging the non-stick coating.
- Ensure the steam vent is clean and unobstructed.
Operating Instructions
- Open the lid and add rice and water to the inner pot according to your recipe.
- Ensure the exterior of the inner pot is dry and clean before placing it into the main body. Rotate the pot slightly to ensure good contact with the heating plate.
- Close the lid securely and connect the power cord.
- Press the cook button to start the process.
- Once cooking is complete, the unit will automatically switch to the Keep Warm mode.
- After cooking, it is recommended to let the rice sit for about 10 minutes before opening the lid for better results.
- Unplug the unit when not in use.
- Empty and clean the water collection tray after each use.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior. The inner pot should be washed with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Do not use metal scouring pads. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling.
