• Water Holder Cleaning:

Precautions:

• The pot cannot be heated on any other furnace; otherwise, it can be deformed easily.
• When the cooked rice starts to keep warm, it is not suitable for eating immediately. The rice will be softer and more delicious if it continues to steam for another 10 minutes before serving.
• The duration for "keeping warm" must not be exceeded 12 hours in order to avoid degrading the flavor of the cooked rice.
• The product does not have the function of cooking porridge. Thus it cannot be used for cooking porridge and soup in order to avoid a large amount of soup or water overflow and damage the electric heating plate.
