A Note on Using Stainless Steel
Unlike non-stick pots, rice may stick to stainless steel initially. For best results, allow rice to rest on 'Keep Warm' for 10–15 minutes after cooking. This helps moisture distribute evenly and makes the rice fluffier and easier to release. For more detailed guidance, please refer to the user guide.
Care Instructions
- The stainless steel inner pot, steamer basket, and removable inner lid are dishwasher safe.
- Wipe the exterior and interior with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the main unit.
