7. Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and performance of your rice cooker.
- Always unplug the rice cooker from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Removable Inner Pot, Glass Lid, Measuring Cup, and Rice Paddle: These parts are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Alternatively, wash them by hand with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.
- Rice Cooker Base: Wipe the exterior of the base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Never immerse the rice cooker base in water or any other liquid.

8. Troubleshooting
- Rice is too hard/undercooked: Ensure the correct rice-to-water ratio was used. Make sure the lid was securely closed during cooking. Allow rice to rest on 'Keep Warm' for 5-10 minutes after cooking.
- Rice is too soft/mushy: Reduce the amount of water slightly for the next batch. Ensure the rice was not over-soaked.
- Rice sticks to the bottom: While the pot is nonstick, ensure it is clean and free of residue. A very small amount of cooking oil can be added to the water before cooking if sticking persists.
- Rice cooker does not turn on: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the appliance and a working electrical outlet.
- 'Cook' light does not illuminate: Ensure the one-touch switch is fully pressed down to the 'Cook' position.
