The electric heating plate is the main heating device of the rice cooker. The aluminum alloy disc with an embedded electric heating tube can be seen after removing the inner pot. The electric heating plate will have circles of lines, which can increase the heat dissipation area of the electric heating plate, making the heat transfer of the electric heating plate more sufficient, uniform and fast.
After the rice cooker has been used for a period of time, the rice grains or water residues left at the bottom of the inner pot will form burnt yellow stains or carbonized black rice grains around the electric heating plate after heating. If not removed in time, the stains will become heavier and heavier. In severe cases, it will affect the normal heating of the rice cooker and cause problems such as burnt rice.
How to use:
1. Check the bottom of the inner pot after washing to dry the water marks and rice grains or rice soup;
2. Clean foreign matter on the surface of the hot plate to prevent starch from sticking to the surface of the hot plate after heating;
3. The ratio of rice to water during cooking should not exceed the maximum scale, and the cooking gear should be selected according to cooking needs to avoid overflow of rice soup due to wrong gear.
Cleaning method:
1. For minor stains, wipe with a cloth or toothbrush with a little toothpaste, and then wipe with a damp cloth;

The electric heating plate is the main heating device of the rice cooker. The aluminum alloy disc with an embedded electric heating tube can be seen after removing the inner pot. The electric heating plate will have circles of lines, which can increase the heat dissipation area of the electric heating plate, making the heat transfer of the electric heating plate more sufficient, uniform and fast.
After the rice cooker has been used for a period of time, the rice grains or water residues left at the bottom of the inner pot will form burnt yellow stains or carbonized black rice grains around the electric heating plate after heating. If not removed in time, the stains will become heavier and heavier. In severe cases, it will affect the normal heating of the rice cooker and cause problems such as burnt rice.
How to use:
1. Check the bottom of the inner pot after washing to dry the water marks and rice grains or rice soup;
2. Clean foreign matter on the surface of the hot plate to prevent starch from sticking to the surface of the hot plate after heating;
3. The ratio of rice to water during cooking should not exceed the maximum scale, and the cooking gear should be selected according to cooking needs to avoid overflow of rice soup due to wrong gear.
Cleaning method:
1. For minor stains, wipe with a cloth or toothbrush with a little toothpaste, and then wipe with a damp cloth;
