Q5: Why do the readings on the Xiaomi Smart Cooking Robot fluctuate automatically after the scale is tared (reset to zero)?
A: The weighing module of the Xiaomi Smart Cooking Robot is quite sensitive. Due to environmental factors, the reading may fluctuate by a few grams. Specific reasons include:
1. The countertop where the machine is placed is uneven or slightly wobbly.
2. Other devices are operating on the same countertop, causing vibration or wobbling.
3. There are exhaust fans, blowers, or significant airflow interference in the environment.
If the reading still fluctuates beyond the normal range after ruling out the above external environmental factors, please contact after-sales service for assistance.
Q6: Why does the reading on the Xiaomi Smart Cooking Robot fluctuate between tens of grams and over a hundred grams, even after the zeroing operation has been performed?
A: The zeroing function of the Xiaomi Smart Cooking Robot is unstable. Please exit weighing mode, turn off the device, let it sit undisturbed for 3 minutes, and then turn it back on to check if the zeroing function has returned to normal.
If the reading only fluctuates slightly (within a range of a few grams) after zeroing, please check the operating environment.
If the reading continues to fluctuate beyond the normal range after ruling out environmental factors, please apply for after-sales repair.
Q7: Is the Xiaomi Smart Cooking Robot noisy during operation?
A: 1. Noise is well-controlled at low speeds (below 1,000 rpm).
2. At high speeds (above 8,000 rpm), the motor torque is increased to enhance grinding or cell-wall-breaking performance—necessary given the wide pot design—which results in relatively higher noise levels. However, since high-speed operation is infrequent and sessions are typically short, the priority in this mode is performance rather than noise control.
Q8: What to do if the Xiaomi Smart Cooking Robot shuts down during operation?
A: In this case, please do the following:
(1). Take the main pot out of the main unit.
(2). Reduce the amount of ingredients added or add some liquid.
(3). Wait for about 5 minutes (cooling time).
(4). Reinstall the mixing pot.
(5). Check whether the ventilation holes on the back of the host are unblocked.
(6). Start the machine again by pressing the rotary button.
(7). If the system error message is still displayed after the cooling time, please contact the after-sales service.
Q9: How to thoroughly clean the Xiaomi Smart Cooking Robot after it has kneaded dough?
A: Considering the stickiness of the dough, you can soak it in water for a while, and then use a brush to clean it off more easily.
Q10: Can the pot assembly of the Xiaomi Smart Cooking Robot be washed in the dishwasher?
A: The pot components have been treated with waterproofing. If necessary, they can be cleaned in a dishwasher environment. However, because the pot is deep, it cannot meet the shape requirements of the dishwasher. The cleaning effect may not be obvious.
Q11: What to do if the Xiaomi Smart Cooking Robot displays an E-20 error when grinding meat?
A: An E-20 error indicates that the motor jam protection has been activated, usually because ingredients have become jammed or tangled around the blade assembly. Please check if the quantity of ingredients is excessive, or if the ingredients are too hard or cut into pieces that are too large. For example, when using the meat-mincing mode, it is recommended to process no more than 400 g of meat at a time and to cut the meat into small pieces (no larger than 2 cm on any side) before use.
If this occurs, please follow these steps:
1. If the issue is caused by excessive quantity, hardness, or large piece sizes, proceed as follows:
(1). Pause the cooking process.
(2). Remove the main pot and use a spatula to take out the ingredients. Check for any items jammed or tangled around the blade assembly. If found, carefully clear away the obstruction. You can remove the blade assembly for cleaning if necessary.
(3). Common scenarios leading to blade jams or tangles include: large bones getting stuck on the blades during cooking, failure to cut meat into small pieces before mincing, or using too much flour when kneading dough.
(4). After clearing the obstruction, return the ingredients to the main pot, correctly reinstall the pot onto the main unit, and restart the cooking process;
(5). The machine should now operate normally without displaying the error message.
2. If the machine continues to display the E-20 error after performing the steps above, please contact after-sales service for inspection and repair.
Q12: Why are there yellow or black spots on the inner wall of the main pot? Is it rusty? How to clean the bottom of the main pot?
A: Yellow or black spots may be oxides formed when food residue is not cleaned promptly after cooking. You can remove them using the methods below.
For example, if there are oxides on the upper part of the pot or near the rim, apply a small amount of white vinegar to the affected area. Let it sit for a moment, then wipe it clean with a scouring pad dampened with white vinegar.
Cleaning methods for limescale, oxides, or burnt residue:
White vinegar method:
1. Pour an appropriate amount of white vinegar into the mixing pot (no need to add water) and let it soak for about 1 hour. Then, add 1 liter of water, place the mixing pot back onto the main unit, and start the cleaning mode.
2. Once cleaning is complete, remove and empty the pot, detach the blade assembly, wipe areas with limescale or burnt residue using a scouring pad, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. The blade assembly can be rinsed directly under the tap.
3. Wipe dry the outer surface and bottom of the pot, then reassemble the blade unit.
Citric acid method:
1. Add 1000 g of water and 50 g of citric acid, start the cleaning mode, and let it sit for 15 minutes after the cycle finishes.
2. Then, remove and empty the pot, detach the blade assembly, wipe areas with limescale or burnt residue using a scouring pad, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. The blade assembly can be rinsed directly under the tap.
3. Wipe dry the outer surface and bottom of the pot, then reassemble the blade unit.
Q13: Why do the weight readings on the Xiaomi Smart Cooking Robot fluctuate or appear inaccurate?
A: The Xiaomi Smart Cooking Robot utilizes a highly sensitive weighing module (load cell). Factors such as vibrations on the countertop where the machine is placed or ambient air currents can affect the sensor, causing slight "zero-point drift". This is a normal phenomenon.
Note:
1. Reference standards for zero-point drift are as follows: ≤8 g within 2 minutes during silent standby; ≤15 g within 2 minutes during operation; and ≤10 g fluctuation when weighing objects exceeding 2 kg.
2. When adding seasonings or ingredients weighing less than 100 g, it is recommended to use the included measuring pot or measuring spoon set for precise dosing. This method is more efficient, accurate, and convenient.
3. The measuring pot has a scale range of 10 g to 100 g, allowing for the quick and accurate measurement of liquids or powders.
4. The measuring spoon set includes four spoons (1.25 ml, 2.5 ml, 5 ml, and 10 ml) suitable for measuring powdered or liquid seasonings.
Q14: What's the matter with the white marks on the inside of the Xiaomi Smart Cooking Robot steamer lid handle?
A: The tiny traces on the inner side of the handle of the steamer lid are welding marks that appear during the injection molding process, which is a normal phenomenon.
