How to set Keep Warm during Sleep mode

When cooked rice is kept warm for a long time, the rice quality deteriorates (discoloration, drying and odor). To prevent deterioration, set the warm temperature as low temperature during sleeping time (10:00pm ~ 04:00am) as needs arise.

Odor Develops While Keeping Warm

• – Clean the cooker frequently. In particular, negligent cleaning of the lid part may develop an odor while keeping warm because of the proliferation of bacteria.
• – Even though the product is apparently clean, bacteria can be present. If strong odors develop, boil water to sterilize. Fill with the water up to the plain rice water level line for 2 persons and add a big spoonful of ginger. After that, close the lid and press the Cook/Turbo button to boil the water. Press the Cancel button 30 ~ 40 minutes after boiling. After boiling, always clean the inner pot.
• – If you keep the cooked rice warm without cleaning the inner pot after steaming food, an odor may penetrate the rice.
