Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
Unplug the power cord before cleaning. Do not spray water directly on the product and do not use benzene or thinner to clean.

Do not use a rough or metallic scrubber, a rough
brush, or abrasives. These products can strip or dam-
age the coating for the inner and outer parts of the
inner pot. Thus, use a dish detergent with soft cloth or
a sponge to clean.
Do not use abrasives, toothpaste, or any type of polish
to bring gloss to the surface of the inner pot. Doing so
may discolor the surface or damage the coating.
Take out the inner pot and remove all debris and buildup
from the bottom surface before use. Debris and buildup
on the automatic temperature sensor or the bottom sur-
face inside the cooker prevent the cooker from monitor-
ing the temperature, resulting in the poor performance or
malfunction of the product. Fire may occur. Clean these
parts using a dish towel that was soaked in water and
then wrung out. Be careful not to damage the metallic
plate of the automatic temperature sensor as you clean.
Do not touch or clean immediately after cooking or
keeping rice warm. There is risk of getting burned.
Take a dish towel, soaked in water and then wrung
out, and wipe off debris and buildup. Keeping the
pressure packing clean maintains the product’s
performance and helps keep the rice smelling fresh.
Do not detach the pressure packing after use.
Instead, simply wipe it clean using a clean dish towel.
Hold the upper and lower parts of the water collector
to detach it as shown in the gure below. Then,
thoroughly clean the water collector. Thoroughly
wash the detached water collector using a neutral
dish detergent and a sponge.
Wash the rice spatula and measuring cup clean and
then dry them completely before storing.

Suggestions
Cooking avorful rice starts from using the right amount of water.
Odor from Keeping Warm
Getting Rid of the Odor when Cooking Old Rice
Storing Rice (determines the avor of rice)
XClean the cooker regularly. In particular, germs may quickly spread and
cause foul odor to develop if the lid and its parts are not kept in a clean state.
XNot cleaning the inner pot and other cooker parts allows bacteria to spread and
cause the rice to develop an odor. In this case, ll the inner pot with a mixture of water
and vinegar and cook in AUTO CLEAN mode. Then, thoroughly clean the inner pot.
(Ratio: Water to 2 servings level on the PLAIN scale and 1 tablespoon of vinegar)
XIf rice is kept warm without cleaning the pot thoroughly after soups or steamed dishes
are cooked in the pot, the rice may take on the smell of the previously cooked food.
After being cooked, old rice tends to develop an unpleasant smell that only gets
worse when kept warm. To cook old rice and prevent it from developing an odor,
soak the rice in water and add a drop of vinegar on the evening before cooking
it. Rinse it and, on the next day, rinse it once more using lukewarm water just
before cooking it.
Storage of Rice
To prevent bugs from mixing in with the rice, add cloves of
garlic in the rice container.
※ Freshly polished rice can quickly become dry unless
stored properly.
Good Bad
Storage Place
- Cool and dry place
- Low-humid and properly
ventilated place
- Hot place near a boiler pipe, etc
- Place exposed to direct sunlight
- Underneath a sink
Rice Purchase
Storage Period
It is recommended that rice should be purchased in small quantities between 5kg and
10kg and should be consumed within two weeks after breaking the packaging seal.
※Old or dried-out rice may develop poor texture or even end up undercooked. Also, they are prone to develop an
odor when kept warm.

Taste Control
3 Pressure Settings
※ These 3 pressure settings are enabled in PLAIN mode only.
Use the MENU/TASTE CONTROL button to select the mode for the taste of PLAIN.
The rice cooker may release steam while operating in this mode. This is the result of the cooker regulating its internal pressure,
and is completely normal. (Adjust the rice texture setting according to your preference.)

X Melanoizing
Cooking rice with a Cuchen electric pressure rice cooker leaves rice at the bottom of the pot slightly brown in color.
This is known as "melanoizing" and adds savory avor and aroma to the cooked rice.
In Preset mode, starch released from the rice may settle to the bottom of the pot and lead to a more evident melanoiz-
ing effect than regular cooking.

minutes, and 8 minutes. (To cook using the default
soak time setting, select 0 minutes. Otherwise, select
2 minutes, 4 minutes, 6 minutes, or 8 minutes.)
※ Increasing the soak time allows the rice to absorb
more water and to become softer.
※ Using a high Soak setting will increase the overall
cooking time. In addition, water-soluble starch from
the rice will settle down to the bottom and produce a
more prominent melanoizing effect.
※ After cooking completes, the Soak and Heat settings will remain in memory.
※ If the  ne-tune setting is not changed for at least 10 seconds, the setting will
be automatically completed.
※ Once the Soak setting is changed, the expected cooking duration will be
changed as well.
y For Soft and Fluffy Rice: Set the soak time to 2, 4, 6, or 8 minutes.
y For Savory Rice: Set the heating temperature to 2°C or 4°C.
y For Non-Savory Rice: Set the heating temperature to -2°C.
y When using the Taste Control feature, condition of the rice being cooked, the temperature of the water, the amount of water used,
and other factors can affect the cooking duration and end result.
※ Default settings are 0 minutes and 0°C, respectively.
※ Available Heat settings are -2°C, 0°C, 2°C, and 4°C.
(To cook using the default heating temperature set-
ting, select 0°C. Otherwise, select 2°C, 4°C, or -2°C.)
※ Adjusting how hot the water gets before the cooking
process lets you control the savoriness of the cooked
rice.
※ Using a high Heat setting will increase the overall
cooking duration and make a more prominent mela-
noizing effect than regular cooking.

continue to be remembered. Thus, the next time you wish to use the
Preset option with the same settings, simply press the "PRESET" and
PRESSURE/QUICK buttons in sequence.

yRice may quickly turn sour in the summer months. Therefore, in the summer months, the preset timer should not be set to more than 10 hours.
y Cooking old (seal broken long ago) or dried out rice can produce an overcooked or unevenly cooked result.
y If the rice is half-cooked, add more water than usual (about half a scale more).
y Starting Preset mode while the inner pot is still hot or warm from the previous cooking will cause the rice to turn sour. Allow the inner pot to cool
down suf ciently before using the Preset feature.
yCertain ingredients, depending on factors such as the ambient temperature and types and state of the ingredients, may spoil. Avoid using long
preset timer settings if possible.
