Safety Information

The inner pot and the steam rack are made of sturdy, food-grade stainless steel (304 – 18/8) and
are entirely dishwasher safe. For the most part, you can keep the inner pot cleaned just as you
would clean any stainless steel pot—by hand washing or the dishwasher.
Should the inner pot develop harmless water stains, non-abrasive scouring cleanser, made
especially for cooking pots, brings back the original shine.
You can also periodically clean the inner pot by placing 1 cup of white vinegar in the bottom of
the inner pot. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes, and then pour out the vinegar and rinse.
Removing Bluish Marks from Your Stainless Steel Inner Pot
