Proper Care and Cleaning Tips for Your Electric Rice Cooker
Cleaning the electronic rice cooker carefully is the best way to preserve the product
1. Allow the electric rice cooker to cool down before cleaning
After unplugging the power cord, wait for the cooker to cool down for about 30 to 60 minutes before cleaning. The exact cooling time may vary depending on the specific type of cooker you have. You can find this information on the packaging, user guide, or manufacturer’s website. Cleaning the cooker while it is still hot or when the power cord is still plugged in can lead to accidents.
Only clean the cooker when it has cooled down
2. Avoid scratching the inner pot
Clean the rice grains thoroughly with a soft cloth soaked in water. The longer the rice grains stick, the more difficult they are to clean. If the rice stuck in the cooker has dried and hardened, soak the cooker in water for at least 1 hour, then gently clean it with a soft cloth to avoid scratching or peeling the inner pot.

3. Wash the inner pot and the lid with care
Wash the inner pot and the lid like you would wash dishes. Use a little hot water, dishwashing liquid, and a soft cloth if possible. While washing, gently scrub in a circular motion for best results. For tougher stubborn stains, you can use a dishwashing sponge. After cleaning, make sure to let them dry thoroughly to prevent mold or rust on the product.
Clean the inner pot and the lid normally
4. Always clean thoroughly after each use
Even if it appears clean, make sure to thoroughly wipe off any stuck rice grains after each use. The interior of the cooker can be a perfect environment for mold growth. Therefore, it’s important to clean the cooker meticulously to ensure food safety.
