6 Open the lid and carefully remove the steamed food from the plate or steam tray. Use a kitchen glove or a cloth, as the plate and the steam tray will be very hot. Beware of the hot steam. 7 To end the steaming, pull up the control lever, switch off the mains and remove the mains plug from the wall socket (fig. 14). Keeping warm This mode allows you to keep your rice warm for a longer period of time. When the rice cooking process is finished, the rice cooker automatically switches to the keep-warm mode.The cook light/rice light goes out and the keep-warm light goes on. We advise you to keep rice warm for not more than 12 hours so as to preserve its taste. The cook light/rice light may go on occasionally to indicate that the temperature inside the rice cooker has become too low and the heating element has switched on to heat up the rice cooker to the right keep-warm temperature. To end the keep-warm function, pull up the control lever, switch off the mains and remove the mains plug from the wall socket. The congee function does not have a keep warm mode. Cleaning Unplug the rice cooker before you start cleaning it. Wait until the rice cooker has cooled down sufficiently before cleaning it. To protect the non-stick coating of the inner pot, do not: - use the inner pot for washing dishes; - put vinegar in the pot. 1 Take the steam tray and the inner pot out of the body of the appliance. 2 Detach the steam vent cap from the outer lid by pulling it upwards (fig. 17). 3 To take the steam vent cap apart, twist and turn to unlock (fig. 18). 4 To reattach, push the two halves onto each other and twist and turn to close. 5 To put the steam vent cap back into the vent hole of the outer lid, insert it into the hole and push it down firmly (fig. 19). 6 Clean the inner pot, steam tray, rice scoop and steam vent cap with a sponge or a cloth in hot water with some washing-up liquid. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, scourers or metal utensils to clean the inner pot as these will damage the non-stick coating. 7 Use only a damp cloth to wipe the inner lid and the outside and inside of the body of the rice cooker. Never immerse the body of the rice cooker in water, nor rinse it under the tap.Wipe the heating element with a dry cloth. Environment � Do not throw the appliance away with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this you will help to preserve the environment (fig. 20).
