Operating Instructions
The Xiaomi Smart Multifunctional Rice Cooker offers various cooking modes and smart features. Always refer to the water level markings inside the inner pot for accurate measurements.
Cooking Rice (General Guide)
- Measure Rice: Use the provided measuring cup to measure the desired amount of rice.
- Wash Rice: Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Add to Inner Pot: Place the washed rice into the inner pot.
- Add Water: Fill the inner pot with water up to the corresponding water level mark for the amount of rice you are cooking. For example, if cooking 2 cups of rice, fill water to the '2' mark on the 'Rice' scale. Note: Some older manuals may contain a typo regarding water levels; always match the water level to the number of rice cups.
- Close Lid: Close the lid securely.
- Select Mode: Press the 'Select' button to cycle through the available cooking modes (e.g., 'Rice', 'Brown Rice', 'Congee', 'Soup', 'Steam', 'Reheat', 'Keep Warm').

Smart Features and App Control
This smart rice cooker can be controlled via a dedicated mobile application. This allows you to:
- Set different cooking modes remotely.
- Adjust rice softness after cooking.
- Maintain warmth for extended periods.
Note: Some users have reported issues with remote start functionality, as the cooker may quickly enter standby mode and become inaccessible via Wi-Fi. In such cases, using the built-in timer on the appliance is recommended.
Pre-set Programs
The rice cooker features several pre-set programs for different types of rice and dishes. While these programs are convenient, manual temperature and time adjustments are not available. For specific rice types like 'arroz bomba', it is important to monitor the cooking process and potentially stop it manually to achieve desired consistency, as pre-set times may result in overcooked or mushy rice.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your rice cooker.
- Unplug: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
- Inner Pot: The inner pot is dishwasher safe. For manual cleaning, wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers that could damage the non-stick coating.
- Lid and Steam Vent: The inner lid and steam vent are removable for easy cleaning. Wash them with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly before reattaching.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse the unit in water.
- Condensate Collector: Regularly empty and clean the condensate collector to prevent water from spilling when opening the lid.
Troubleshooting
