• Safety precautions during operation.

Always ensure the inner pot is clean and dry on the exterior before placing it into the rice cooker to prevent damage or malfunction.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life of your replacement inner pot and maintain its non-stick properties.

Cleaning Instructions:

• Hand Wash Only: The inner pot is designed for hand washing. Do not wash in a dishwasher, as harsh detergents and high temperatures can damage the non-stick coating.
• Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft sponge or cloth with mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, metal utensils, or harsh chemicals that can scratch or degrade the non-stick surface.
• Soaking: For stubborn food residue, fill the pot with warm water and a small amount of dish soap, then let it soak for 10-15 minutes before gently cleaning.
• Drying: Thoroughly dry the inner pot, especially the exterior, before returning it to the rice cooker.

General Care Tips:

• Avoid using metal utensils inside the pot, as they can scratch the non-stick coating. Use plastic, silicone, or wooden utensils instead.
• Do not heat the inner pot on a stovetop or in an oven, as it is designed exclusively for use within the compatible CUCKOO rice cooker.
• Store the inner pot in a way that prevents scratching, ideally not stacked directly with other metal items.

7. Troubleshooting

Issues related to the inner pot are typically minimal. If you encounter problems, consider the following:

• Pot not fitting correctly: Ensure the inner pot is fully seated and aligned within the rice cooker housing. Check for any obstructions or debris. Verify that you have the correct model of inner pot for your rice cooker (refer to Section 3: Compatibility).
• Food sticking: Ensure you are following the recommended cleaning instructions. Avoid using abrasive tools. If the non-stick coating is visibly damaged (scratched or flaking), the pot may need replacement.
• Unusual odors: Thoroughly clean the inner pot and the rice cooker's interior. Ensure no food residue is left behind.

For issues related to the rice cooker's operation, please consult your main CUCKOO rice cooker manual or contact CUCKOO customer support.
