The center area on the outside
bottom of the inner pot is an

concern.
Place a soft cloth underneath the inner pot when
washing rice in the inner pot. This will prevent
damage to the bottom of the inner pot.

may occur through normal use. This discoloration is
completely safe and poses no health hazard.
After using SLOW COOK, a slight odor may remain.
Wash the inner pot and inner lid thoroughly after
each use.
