Cleaning and maintenance should not be performed by unsupervised children under 8 years old. Keep children under 8 away from the appliance and its power cord.
• Persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, may use the appliance only if supervised or instructed on safe use and understanding potential dangers. Children must not play with the appliance.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their service technician, or a similarly qualified person to prevent dangerous situations.
• Always unplug the appliance from the power supply when leaving it unattended, and before assembly, disassembly, or cleaning.
• Before replacing accessories or accessible parts, before assembly/disassembly, or before cleaning/maintenance, turn off the appliance and disconnect it from the mains by pulling the power cord from the socket.
• CAUTION: Do not use the appliance with a program, time switch, or any other automatic switching device, as there is a risk of fire if the appliance is covered or improperly placed.
• Prevent pets, plants, and insects from contacting the appliance during operation.
• Do not insert or remove the plug with wet hands, and do not pull the power cord.
• The product is intended for home use and similar environments (shops, offices, hotels, etc.). It is not intended for commercial use or outdoor use.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or wash it under running water, except for parts specified in the Maintenance chapter.
• It is recommended not to leave the appliance in operation without supervision and to check it during food preparation.
• Do not switch on the appliance without the inner container or ingredients.
• Ensure no water or other liquid enters the inner part of the appliance, between the inner and outer containers.
• The appliance has a heat safety lock that disconnects power if the steam sensor fails or if an empty pot is turned on. If this happens, unplug, let it cool, and take it to a service center.
• Do not fill the pot with cold water to cool it down quickly, as this may reduce the lifespan of the heating element.
• Do not place the appliance near objects that can be damaged by steam (e.g., walls, cabinets, curtains).
• Do not use the appliance in environments saturated with explosive or flammable vapors.
• Do not place the appliance on unstable, fragile, or flammable surfaces.
• Use the appliance in a working position, away from heat sources and wet surfaces.
• Use protective gloves or a kitchen towel when handling the inner container or lid.
• When cooking, do not touch areas where hot steam is escaping, as there is a risk of burns.
• Do not carry the appliance when hot; there is a risk of burns if tilted. Use the handles for carrying.
• Be careful when lifting the lid; remove it away from yourself.
• Use the pot only with its original power cord. If damaged, replace it with the same type.

III. Instructions for Use

Before First Use:

• Wash parts that come into contact with food in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, wipe dry, or let dry.
• Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Insert the power cord plug into the electrical socket.
• Turn on the appliance by pressing the A4 button. Indicator light A2 will illuminate.

Assembly of Parts:

• Insert the inner container B into the main body A. Turn slightly until it is properly seated on the heating element.
• Close the lid C.
• Clean the top edge of the inner container B and any other parts soiled by food with a suitable cloth or paper towel. Ensure the heating plate is free of food residue.
• Disassemble in reverse order.

Rice Preparation:

• Wash the rice and place it in the inner container B. Add the required amount of water (e.g., for 3 measuring cups of dry rice, add water up to the '3' mark inside the pot).
• Salt the rice or season as desired.
• Assemble the cooker as described above. The outside of the inner container B must always be dry. A wet surface may cause noise during cooking.
• Press the switch A3. Indicator light A1 signals cooking.
• When the rice is cooked, the appliance automatically switches to the warming mode, and indicator light A2 will illuminate.
• For best results, let the rice rest for about 15 minutes (it will finish cooking in the steam).
• Lift the lid C, let the steam escape, and stir the rice with the provided ladle D.
• After cooking, the pot automatically switches to the "warming" mode.
• Do not keep rice warm for longer than 5 hours, as it may spoil.
• For preparing potatoes, legumes, soups, cereals, etc., refer to cookbooks and recipes. The appliance operates at approximately 95-99°C, and the warming function operates at approximately 70-80°C.

Note: The appliance reacts to the temperature inside the rice cooker, detecting when the preset water amount has evaporated and switching to warming mode.

Caution: A brief, mild smoking may occur during the first use. This is normal and not a defect.

Steam and some liquid may escape from the lid opening during preparation, accompanied by a hissing sound. This is normal.

Do not touch the hot surfaces of the appliance during cooking. Keep children away.

Use protective aids (e.g., oven mitts) when handling.

IV. Cleaning and Maintenance

• Clean the pot only after it has cooled down. Clean regularly after each use.
• Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents (e.g., sharp objects, scrapers, chemical solvents, thinners, oven cleaners, or other solvents).
• Wipe the outer surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
• Wash all other parts (B, C, D) in hot water with detergent, rinse with clean water, and dry completely. Parts C, D, and E can also be washed in a dishwasher.
• Before each use, ensure all parts and the appliance surface are thoroughly dry (e.g., from condensation).
• Never soak the steam pot in water or fill the baking space with water.
• Wipe the outer areas of the baking pan with a damp rag.
• Maintenance requiring interference with the electrical parts of the appliance must be carried out by a professional service center. Failure to follow manufacturer instructions will void the warranty.

Storage:

• Before storing, ensure the pot and all its components are cool.
• Store the pot in a safe, dry place, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons.
