- Before first use, it is mandatory to remove the polishing residue (abrasive coating) on the stainless steel surface: Use a paper towel dampened with cooking oil to thoroughly wipe the entire inner pot, tray, and lid until no black residue remains. Then, pour vinegar and baking soda into the pot, boil for about 15 minutes, and finally wash thoroughly with dish soap.

3. How to Use Cooking Modes
- Low-sugar Rice (저당밥): Helps reduce sugar, carbohydrate, and calorie content in rice. Place rinsed rice into the sugar-reducing tray (about 2 cups of rice, equivalent to 3-4 servings), and pour water about 2ml above the rice surface. Soak the rice for about 30 minutes, turn on the power, touch the "Low-sugar Rice" button, the light will flash for 5 seconds and the cooker will automatically start cooking. When cooking is complete, the cooker will display "-bb-" and switch to keep warm. The water at the bottom of the main inner pot is water containing the extracted sugar; if you wish to continue keeping warm, please discard this water and replace it with an equivalent amount of clean water, then fluff the rice.
- Boiled Pork/Fat-Separating Steam (수육): Used for high-temperature steaming to separate excess fat and bad cholesterol from the meat. Place the meat into the inner pot (maximum meat amount is 1/2 of the pot) and pour water to submerge the meat. Select "Additional Function (추가기능)" and touch the "Boiled Pork" button, the cooker will cook for a default time of 1 hour 30 minutes (cooking time can be increased if cooking a larger amount).
- Baked Eggs (구운계란): Place 1-9 eggs into the inner pot, and pour water to submerge about halfway up the eggs. Select "Additional Function" -> "Baked Eggs", the cooker will automatically cook for 1 hour.
- Regular Rice (일반밥) / Grain Rice (잡곡밥): Place about 1-4 cups of rinsed rice or grains into the main inner pot, add water to taste, and soak for 30 minutes. Touch the corresponding function button, the cooker will automatically cook for about 45 minutes, then emit a "beep" sound to signal completion and switch to keep-warm mode.
- Timer (예약): After selecting the cooking function, touch the "Timer" button to increase the time to the desired level. Release your hand, the light will flash 5 times and the cooker will enter standby mode.
4. Daily Cleaning and Maintenance

- Do not put in food exceeding 80% of the pot capacity and strictly do not turn on the machine when the pot is empty.
- Do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids to avoid the risk of electrical short circuit and fire.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
- The cooker automatically keeps warm for up to 24 hours. However, due to the characteristics of a stainless steel pot, the rice may gradually dry out. To enjoy the best flavor of the rice, it is recommended to consume it within 6 hours or portion it into small containers and store them in the freezer.
- Since the inner pot is made of safe 304 stainless steel (without harmful fluorinated plastic non-stick coatings), sticking or slight scorching may occur at the bottom of the pot.
- The clicking sound emitted during cooking is the sound of the automatic temperature control sensor, which is completely normal.
- Customers can completely use the sugar-reduction function to cook grain rice or brown rice.
