To ensure the hygiene of the rice, please remove the inner lid and steam valve and clean them while cleaning the inner pot. At the same time, clean the dirt on the inner pot ring and the accumulated water in the support ring. The rice spoon should also be cleaned after use.
The reasons for washing the inner lid, steam valve and rice spoon are listed below:
1. When cooking rice, starch from the rice and other food particles can accumulate in the steam valve;
2. Food residue and moisture that accumulate on the inner lid and steam valve can lead to unpleasant odors if left uncleaned for too long;
3. The rice residue accumulated on the rice spoon will become hard to wash and solid, increasing the risk of bacterial growth.
