A: This voltage is induced electricity and will not cause any harm to the human body; please feel free to use it.
Illustrate:
1. IH rice cookers use the principle of magnetic field induction eddy current heating, using current passing through the coil to generate a magnetic field. When the magnetic force in the magnetic field passes through the bottom of the iron-containing pot, the inner pot itself heats up at a high speed, and then heats the food in the pot. When the IH rice cooker is working, it will generate electromagnetic waves, so there will be an induced electric field in the rice cooker pot. The light of the electric pen will light up, and there will be a micro voltage when measured with a multimeter. However, there is no inductance when the human body touches it. This is the induced electricity generated by the heating principle of the product, so the product is equipped with a grounding wire to discharge to the ground;
2. This product is a Class I electrical appliance with grounding protection. Therefore, it needs to be used on a socket with a good ground wire;
3. The grounding wire is a form of electrical protection. Its function is to quickly introduce the current into the earth through the grounding wire when the electrical equipment leaks or is induced to be charged, so that the equipment casing is no longer charged, thereby ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.
Explanation of leakage current and induced current:
1. Leakage is caused by the AC part of the machine being charged due to defective or damaged parts, which is harmful to the human body;
2. The induced electric field is generated by the interaction between the device's own electromagnetic field and the metal casing. Since the induced electric field does not form a loop, it will not discharge to the human body.
13. Q: How to tell if the Xiaomi Multifunctional IH Rice Cooker is not powered?
A: 1. Check the power socket:

17. Q: The Xiaomi Multifunctional IH Rice Cooker makes unusual noises when cooking. How can I tell if it is faulty?
A: Explanation of the "squeaking" sound during the heat preservation process for the Xiaomi Multifunctional IH Rice Cooker Series:
The Xiaomi Rice Cooker has two heating modes:
1. The principle of IH electromagnetic heating: When the magnetic field of the coil disk detects the pot and during operation, the magnetic field generated by the coil disk cuts the alloy inner pot, which will emit a slight electromagnetic sound. This is a normal phenomenon and is the same as the working principle of an induction cooker.
Therefore, the product is intermittently heated during the insulation process, so there will be intermittent electromagnetic sound during the insulation, which is a normal phenomenon.
2. According to the traditional chassis heating principle, the product needs to adjust the cooking curve by switching on and off the relay during cooking. There will be a slight switching sound during the working process of the relay, which is the normal working principle of the device. Please feel free to use it.
Note:
Please wipe off the water at the bottom of the inner pot when cooking. The product uses a hot plate to transfer heat energy. When the heat of the heating plate rises and comes into direct contact with the water, the water will boil and evaporate quickly, and a sound of boiling and bursting bubbles will be heard.
Therefore, the product is intermittently heated during the insulation process, so there will be intermittent heating sounds during the insulation, which is a normal phenomenon.
Note:
The rice cooker will start working after entering the keep warm mode; the keep warm function is detected by the temperature sensor inside the cooker. When the temperature inside the cooker is lower than the keep warm temperature, the product will start heating, and when the keep warm temperature is reached, the product will stop heating. Therefore, the product will work indirectly when keeping warm.
18. Q: How to tell if the rice in the Xiaomi Multifunctional IH Rice Cooker is occasionally undercooked?
A: There are two main types of problems with undercooked rice:

3. Check whether the aluminum cover surface of the upper cover sensor and the bottom sensor of the rice cooker are deformed;
4. Check whether the temperature values of the upper and lower sensors of the rice cooker are normal. The upper and lower temperature control is normal and will not overflow.
Improper use by customers:
1. Check whether the ratio of rice to water is matched according to the scale requirements of the inner pot (too much/too little will affect the taste of the rice);
2. Is the production date of the rice more than 6 months? If the rice is stored for too long, it will also affect the taste of the rice.
3. Check whether there are any foreign objects on the bottom of the inner pot or the top surface where the bottom sensor fits;
4. Check whether the surface of the aluminum cover of the bottom sensor is deformed;
5. The rice should be kept in a sealed container and not spread out to dry. This will cause the rice to be undercooked easily, so you need to add more water.

24. Q: How does a rice cooker work?
A: The process of cooking rice in a rice cooker mainly depends on its heating element and temperature control function.
First, the rice cooker contains a heating plate or coil plate inside, which is the main heat source for cooking rice.
Heating plate:
When the current passes through the heating plate, it generates heat, which is transferred to the water and rice in the pot. The temperature of the heating plate can be adjusted by the thermostat to maintain the optimal temperature for cooking rice.
IH electromagnetic induction:
The electric current is passed through the coil to generate a magnetic field. When the magnetic force in the magnetic field passes through the bottom of the iron pot, the appliance itself is heated at a high speed to heat and cook food, thereby achieving the purpose of cooking. The temperature of the rice can be adjusted by the thermostat to maintain the optimal temperature for cooking the rice.
Secondly, the rice cooker also has a heat preservation function. When the rice is cooked, the rice cooker can keep the temperature of the rice by lowering the temperature of the heating plate or turning off the heating plate to prevent the rice from cooling down.
In general, the process of cooking rice in a rice cooker is to convert electrical energy into thermal energy through the heating element, and then transfer the heat to the rice through heat transfer to cook it. At the same time, the insulation function of the rice cooker can maintain the temperature of the rice, making it delicious.

A: Rice cookers are kitchen appliances and are used in kitchen environments. White plastic will be stained in an oily fume environment, which is a normal physical reaction phenomenon.
There are two main reasons for the discoloration of rice cookers:
1. Food color penetration: When using a rice cooker for cooking dishes, certain foods, especially those rich in natural pigments (such as red pepper powder, beetroot powder, soy sauce, etc.) or artificial pigments, may slightly penetrate the plastic parts on the edge of the rice cooker inner pot through steam or direct contact during long-term high-temperature cooking, causing staining;
2. Incomplete cleaning: After long-term use, if the inside of the rice cooker is not cleaned promptly and thoroughly, especially the joints between the inner pot and the plastic parts, the remaining food residues may attract and solidify the pigments. The temperature inside the rice cooker rises when cooking, which may accelerate the penetration and fixation of the pigments in the remaining ingredients, resulting in staining. This phenomenon is normal, especially when cooking ingredients with strong pigments.
Here are some suggestions:
1. Cleaning: The rice cooker needs to be cleaned and maintained after each cooking, such as the rice cooker steam valve, inner lid, water tank, steamer basket, inner pot, etc., to avoid staining or odor from the remaining ingredients during cooking. But sometimes the pigment may still remain on some parts of the machine. You can try to clean the lid again with a mild detergent and water to see if the color can be removed;
Note:
The inside of the rice cooker cannot be cleaned with water.
2. Regular cleaning: To prevent future staining problems, the device should be cleaned thoroughly as soon as possible after use, especially for food containing pigments;
3. Material characteristics: Plastic parts may be more susceptible to staining at high temperatures, which is a characteristic of plastic materials;
4. If the color remains after cleaning, it may be permanent staining. The change in staining does not affect the use of the machine and food safety, and the product can be used with confidence.
30. Q: Is the power cord of the Xiaomi Multifunctional IH Rice Cooker universal? Is the power cord copper?
A: The power cord of the Xiaomi Multifunctional IH Rice Cooker can be used with all Xiaomi Rice Cooker products.
The core of the power cord is copper, and the surface of the power cord is wrapped with a plastic insulation layer for protection. If the insulation layer of the power cord is damaged, please stop using it and contact after-sales for replacement to avoid electric shock accidents.
31. Q: Is it normal to have a slight current sound when the Xiaomi Multifunctional IH Rice Cooker is powered on and in standby mode?
A: This is normal. When the device is powered on and in standby mode, some of the power components of the product are in the powered on and standby working state. When current passes through the components, there will be a slight current, which is a normal phenomenon.
Note:
If the device is not used for a long time, it is recommended to refer to the maintenance page of the user manual for maintenance and disconnect the power supply of the product.
32. Q: Does the Xiaomi Multifunctional IH Rice Cooker consume electricity when cooking rice? How to calculate the power consumption hours of electrical appliances?
A: The power consumption is different under different rice-water ratios and different cooking functions. The power consumption of 3 cups of rice cooked with the fine cooking function is about 0.3 degrees (kilowatt-hours). The power consumption of electrical appliances is calculated based on the relationship between their own power and power consumption, and the following formula can be used to calculate power consumption.
Power consumption (kWh) = power (Watts) × time (hours)
33. Q: When I add whole grains to rice in the Xiaomi Multifunctional IH Rice Cooker, why is the rice cooked but the whole grains are not?
A: When cooking grains and rice together, due to the different water absorption rates and cooking times of different ingredients, the rice may be cooked but the grains may still be hard. This is an operational issue. You can refer to the following methods for cooking methods. Please do not guide users for after-sales service.
The Xiaomi Multifunctional IH Rice Cooker's Rice and Quick rice modes are only suitable for cooking white rice. Some Xiaomi Rice Cookers support Internet connection and can use online recipes for cooking. If the rice cooker does not have a grain rice function, it is not recommended to cook grain rice.
Here are some suggestions to help you cook grain rice better:
1. Pre-soak: Most grains, such as brown rice, quinoa, oats, etc., require a long time to absorb water. You can soak the grains in advance for 3 to 4 hours, or even overnight, which will make the grains easier to cook;
2. Cook separately: Since whole grains take longer to cook, you can choose to cook them separately. Cook the whole grains first, and then add the rice when they are almost cooked;
3. Use a pressure cooker: A pressure cooker can shorten the cooking time and allow both grains and rice to be heated evenly, making it easier to cook them at the same time;
4. Adjust the ratio: If you like the taste of rice and grains mixed together, you can try to adjust the ratio, increase the proportion of rice and reduce the proportion of grains, so that even if the grains are not fully cooked, the taste will not be affected too much;
5. Choose easy-to-cook whole grains: Some whole grains are easier to cook, such as pearl rice, millet, etc. You can choose these to pair with rice;
6. Cooking time: Depending on the type of grains and your preferred taste, extend the cooking time appropriately to ensure that the grains are cooked.
By using the above methods, you can cook delicious and healthy multi-grain rice. Remember to adjust according to the type of multi-grain and personal taste when cooking to find the cooking method that suits you best.
