Frequently Asked Questions - ECJ-HC55S SANYO

How do I cook white rice with the ECJ-HC55S?

Measure rice using the provided cup, rinse, add water to the corresponding level inside the pot, close lid, press the 'White Rice' button, and start. The cooker will automatically switch to keep warm when done.

Can I cook other grains besides rice?

Yes, you can cook quinoa, barley, oatmeal, or steam vegetables using the steam basket. Adjust water ratio accordingly.

How do I clean the rice cooker?

Unplug and let cool. Remove the inner pot and wash with warm soapy water. Wipe the lid and exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water.

What does the delay timer do?

Set the timer to delay cooking up to 24 hours. For example, prep ingredients at night and have rice ready in the morning. Press Timer, set hours, then press Start.

Why is there a burning smell when using?

It may be normal for the first use as manufacturing residue burns off. If persistent, check for food stuck on the heating plate or a damaged inner pot. Clean thoroughly.

Can I open the lid during cooking?

Opening the lid releases steam and may affect cooking time. It is designed to stay closed. If needed, use caution to avoid steam burns.

How does the keep warm function work?

After cooking, the cooker automatically switches to keep warm mode. It maintains rice at an ideal serving temperature for up to 12 hours.

What is the maximum capacity for steaming?

Do not fill inner pot beyond the maximum water line. For steaming, add water to the level indicated for the food and place the steam basket. Overfilling may cause overflow.

How do I replace the inner pot or gasket?

Order genuine Sanyo spare parts. To replace the inner pot, simply lift out the old one and insert the new. For the lid gasket, gently remove the old silicone ring and press the new one into the groove.

What should I do if the cooker won't turn on?

Check power cord connection and outlet. Ensure the inner pot is properly seated. If still not working, the thermal fuse may have blown; contact Sanyo service.

Use SLOW COOK HIGH when you would prefer foods to be cooked quicker (in 6 hours or less).

1 Put the ingredients and seasonings into inner pot for slow cooking. Place it into the main unit.

• Do not add ingredients above the MAX line on inner pot.
  Doing so may cause the unit to overflow or the food may not be cooked properly.
• Remove any foreign objects between the inner pot and inner lid. Not doing so may cause the unit to overflow or steam to leak.
• Do not place the inner pot directly on heating surfaces other than this appliance.

2 Attach inner lid for slow cooking. Close the outer lid and insert power plug into electrical outlet.

3 Select SLOW COOK HIGH or SLOW COOK LOW. Press the HRS and MIN buttons to set the cooking time.

• HRS button can be set for up to 12 hours in 1 hour increments.
• MIN button can be set for up to 50 minutes in 10 minute increments.
  • MIN button can be set from 30-50 minutes when set for less than 1 hour.

• Add thawed ingredients for better results.
  • Vegetables cook more slowly than meats, therefore, place them in the bottom of inner pot or around the sides.
• Mix seasonings well in a separate bowl, then put them in inner pot.
• Do not use SLOW COOK for reheating foods.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the power supply cord from the electric outlet and allow the unit to cool off completely prior to cleaning.

When cleaning the unit, do not use cleaning powder, scrub brush, benzene or thinner.

MAIN BODY AND OUTER LID

Wipe with a damp cloth.

Make sure to wipe thoroughly any channels where moisture tends to accumulate.

HEATING ELEMENT AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR

If rice grains or other dirt becomes stuck to the heating element, gently polish with fine sandpaper (about 320 grit) and then wipe with a damp sponge.

INNER POTS AND INNER LIDS

Wash the inner pots using a sponge and dishwashing detergent.

CAUTION

■ Make sure that the inner pots do not become deformed.
■ Make sure that the following instructions are heeded in order to avoid damaging the non-stick coating on the inner surface of the pots:

• Do not wash rice in the inner pots using hard objects, such as whisks.
  • Always use the spatula that has been provided with the appliance.
• Do not leave spoons or tableware in the inner pots.
• Do not use vinegar for cleaning the pots.
• Make sure that the inner pots are washed immediately after any rice with seasoning has been cooked.

■ The inner pots may eventually become discolored during the course of normal usage. As any such discoloration is completely safe and will not affect the health at all, the pots may continue to be used without 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.
■ Some discoloration of the outer side of the inner pots 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.

■The center area on the outside bottom of the inner pot is an extremely important area, as it comes into direct contact with the temperature sensor. If this area is dirty or damaged, the rice may become scorched or burnt.
