Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Clean: Before first use, wash all removable parts (inner pots, lids, steam grid) with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Do not wash the main unit (base).
3. Assemble: Place the desired inner pot(s) and steam grid into the main unit as per your cooking needs.
4. Power Connection: Connect the power cord to the lunch box and then to a suitable power outlet.

Operating Instructions

General Operation:

• Add the appropriate amount of water to the main unit's base before placing inner pots. The amount of water depends on the cooking function and desired cooking time.
• Place your ingredients into the stainless steel inner pots.
• Close the top lid securely.
• Plug in the power cord. The display will light up.
• Select your desired function (Rice, Porridge, Reheat, Hot Pot, Warm) using the control panel buttons.
• You can adjust cooking time (Timer) and power (Power) as needed. The device supports up to 9.5 hours preset.
• The lunch box will automatically begin cooking.
• Once cooking is complete, the unit may switch to a "Keep Warm" function or turn off. Unplug the unit and carefully remove the inner pots.

Using the Vacuum Pump:

The included vacuum pump and double-layer silicone lid help keep food fresh for longer. After cooking or preparing food, place the silicone lid on the inner pot and use the vacuum pump to extract air from the pot. This creates a partial vacuum, which can slow down spoilage. Important: Always remove the vacuum pump and silicone lid before heating or cooking.
