•The non-stick bowl, the steam basket, the condensation collector, the spoon and the cup are dishwasher safe.

•Dry the bowl carefully.

•Do not immerse the appliance in water, nor pour water into it.

Taking care of the non-stick bowl

•To keep the non-stick coating quality of the bowl for as long as possible, it is recommended not to cut food in it.

•Use plastic or wooden utensils and not metal ones when stirring or serving food to avoid damaging the bowl surface.

•To avoid any risk of corrosion, do not pour vinegar into the bowl.

•The colour of the bowl surface may change after using for the first time or after long period of use. This change in colour is due to the action of steam and water and does not have any effect on the use of the Rice Cooker, nor is it dangerous for your health. It is perfectly safe to continue using it.

•Do not use handblender directly into the non-stick bowl to mix vegetables.

Cleaning and care of the other parts of the appliance

•Unplug the appliance before cleaning.

•Clean the outside of the Rice Cooker, the inside of the lid – Fig.24 and the cord with a damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use abrasive products.

•Do not use water to clean the interior of the appliance body as it could damage the heat sensor.
