● Remove any cooked or grains of rice adhering to
the rice cooker and inner pot.
Failure to do so may cause steam to leak
or contents to boil over. This may result in
malfunction or improperly cooked rice.
● Do not cover the rice cooker
with a cloth or other object
during cooking.
Doing so may cause the rice
cooker or the lid to become
deformed or discolored.

“MAX” line
● The holes in the rice cooker are designed to
maintain its functions and performance. In
extremely rare cases, insects may enter these
holes and cause malfunction. To prevent this, a
commercially available insect prevention sheet,
etc., is recommended. If a malfunction does
occur due to this problem, it will not be covered
by warranty. In this case, contact the place of
purchase.
● The uorocarbon resin coating on the inner
pot may wear and peel with extended use. It is
harmless to humans and does not interfere with
actual cooking or the heat insulating capability
of the rice cooker. If deformation or corrosion
is found on the inner pot, a new inner pot may
be purchased. In this case, contact the place of
purchase.
