4. Maintenance

Cleaning the Inner Pot:

The 304 food-grade stainless steel inner pot with nonstick coating is designed for easy cleaning. It is recommended to wash it with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the nonstick surface.

Auto-Clean Function:

The Auto-Clean function uses steam to clean the interior of the rice cooker, helping to remove odors and food residue from the inner lid and steam vent. To use, add water to the inner pot up to the 'Auto-Clean' line, close the lid, and select the 'Auto-Clean' menu option. Follow the on-screen or voice guide instructions.

Replacing the Rubber Packing (CCP-DH06):

The dual motion rubber packing (model CCP-DH06) is a crucial component for maintaining pressure and sealing. It should be inspected regularly for wear and tear and replaced periodically (typically every 1-2 years or as needed) to ensure optimal performance.
