To keep your Lauben Low Sugar Rice Cooker working its best for years, follow these cleaning and maintenance steps. Always unplug and allow the cooker to cool completely before cleaning to prevent any risk of burns.
Cleaning the Cooking Components:
- Inner Pot, Steamer, and Lid: Gently wash the inner aluminum pot, stainless steel steamer, and aluminum lid with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or metal brushes that could damage the surfaces. If food residue sticks to the bottom of the inner pot, soak it in warm, soapy water to loosen it before wiping.
Maintaining the Inner Pot:
- To prevent scratches, always use plastic or wooden utensils when stirring or serving from the inner pot. Avoid cutting food directly inside the pot to protect its non-stick coating. Never use vinegar in the inner pot, as it can cause corrosion.
Cleaning Other Parts:
- Exterior and Sealing Components: Wipe the main body, the central area, and the sealing cover with a damp cloth. Make sure no water remains on the electric heating plate; dry it with a cloth if necessary. If rice burns onto the heating plate, you can gently remove it with fine steel wool or sandpaper.
Following these steps will help you maintain your Lauben Low Sugar Rice Cooker, ensuring it continues to produce perfectly cooked, low-sugar rice for a long time.
