The Digital Reishunger Rice Cooker is designed for a long lifespan. However, in order that you
can reap the benefits for a really long time, you should observe a few care and maintenance
instructions.
•
After use you must remove all remaining food residue and clean the Digital Reishunger Rice
Cooker directly.
•
Avoid using metal brushes, scouring brushes or strong chemicals when cleaning – they cause
more damage than they are worth. If residues cannot be removed directly, fill the internal pot
with water and a little washing-up liquid before you attempt cleaning again.
•
Do not, under any circumstances, hold the rice cooker under water! To clean the external
housing, you are best to use a damp sponge or a soft cleaning cloth.
•
The inner lid can be removed. To do so, simply press the release latch and lift the lid from the
bracket. You should clean the lid in soapy water with a sponge after each use.
•
Never put the pot and inner lid in the dishwasher. The washing cycle and chemicals are too
aggressive for it. Any damage caused by a dishwasher will not be covered by our warranty.
•
The steam cap on the lid can be removed. It too should also be regularly cleaned.
•
Only use cooking utensils made of plastic or wood. Metal cutlery can damage the ceramic
coating in the internal pot.
•
Remove and clean the condensate collection container after every use. Wash it, leave it to dry
and then return it back to its position.
•
Never clean the internal pot with vinegar. This will also damage the ceramic coating.
•
Over time, the colour of the ceramic coating may change. This is completely normal and is no
reason for concern.
