The all-stainless cover is not only delamination-free and easy to clean, but it also lasts long, In addition, CUCKOO’s special stainless CSV-a CUCKOO’s patented technology, improves the product’s durability and makes it easier to clean.

• proper maintenance of the pressure packing helps keep high airtightness, adds durability to packing and ensures the taste of the food.
• Read the directions below carefully to install your packing properly.

1. How to remove and clean the pressure packing

1. Unplug the power cord and wait until the pot cools down before opening the Top Cover.
2. To remove the pressure packing, hold it as shown in the picture above and pull it out.
3. After hand washing it with a neutral cleaning liquid and a sponge, wipe it clean with a well wrung dish cloth.

2. How to reassemble the pressure packing

First match the standard notches on the Inner Pot lid with the standard points on the pressure packing following the numerical order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Then, press the outer rim of the packing to insert it into the groove. To reassemble the pressure packing follow the order described below:

1. As the Figure 1 shows, put the point #1 on the pressure packing with the standard notch #1 on the Inner Pot lid together before pressing the outer rim of the packing to insert it into the groove. Repeat with points #2 to # 6.
2. After matching the standard points 1 to 6, press the rest of the packing into the groove by pushing on its outer rim.

3. How to double check whether the packing is well assembled

Since a badly assembled packing can cause the rice to be half-cooked or burned by steam leakage, double check the packing thoroughly as described below.

1. Visual inspection

   • check the entire circumference carefully for any crack or damage between the Inner Pot lid and the pressure packing.
   • Abnormal assembly: look for parts sticking out of the inner / outer rim / damaged parts
2. Physical inspection

   • Check if the pressure packing is thoroughly put into the groove by rubbing the inside rime of the packing with a finger around the entire circumference as shown in the picture above.
   • Check if the pressure packing is properly put into the groove of the Inner Pot lid by pushing the outer rim with a finger around the entire circumference as shown in the picture.
   • Check if the pressure packing is thoroughly put into the groove by pushing the inside of the rim packing with a finger around the entire circumference as shown in the picture.
3. Water boiling test

   • Pour water in the Inner Pot up to water level 2 (for “Rice”) and press the MENU/SELECT button to select the self-cleaning mode. Then push the Pressure Cook/Turbo button.
   • Within 10 minutes, the pressure regulator weight will start rattling and hissing while emitting stream. If there is no steam coming out from the pot other than through the pressure regulator weight the packing has been properly installed.
   • If steam comes out from other parts, stop the test and pull out the power cord. Wait until the pot cools down before removing the pressure packing from the lid. Once reinstalled repeat the boiling test.
   • For a more precise water boiling test, you can wrap plastic around the circumference of the closed Top Cover. By doing so, you can easily check where the steam leakage is.

• If the preset time is longer, melanization could be increased.
• Washed rice has a lot of settled starch, and crust can be made in case of preset cooking. If you wash the washed rice in running water before cooking or make the quantity of rice small, the crust will be less.

2. Precautions for preset reheating

• When leaving cooked rice at ambient temperature for a prolonged period of time, moisture is evaporated from cooked rice. In such a case, the reheating preset may cause dehumidifying or melanosing (slightly burnt) of cooked rice.
• If there is an excessive amount of cooked rice in the pot, it may not sufficiently be reheated. It is recommended to set reheating for no more than 5 people. (approx. half of the inner pot)
• Reheating of cold- or frozen-stored cooked rice may cause insufficient heating, dehumidifying or melanosing (slightly burnt) after completion of reheating.
