How to care for a slow cooker
For kitchen appliances to last as long as possible, special attention must be paid to keeping them in proper form. The multicooker Redmond RMC-4503 is no exception. The instruction says that any actions related to cleaning the device should be started only when it is disconnected from the network and completely cooled.
Traditionally, special attention is paid to washing the bowl, because it is in it that the main process of cooking takes place. You need to wash it using gentle detergents and a soft cloth. It is strictly forbidden to use aggressive powder detergents, as well as hard metal scrapers, otherwise it may damage the non-stick coating. Before installing the bowl in the multicooker again, you need to make sure that it is completely dry, and also wipe the outside of it with a dry cloth.
The multicooker housing itself also needs regular cleaning. For this purpose, you can not use any additional means, except for water and soft tissue. The use of any detergents is strictly prohibited. It is necessary to squeeze the rag very well before starting work so that water does not get into the device. This is especially true for cleaning the control panel area.
In exactly the same way as the bowl, it is necessary to clean the moisture collector after each work session in which condensate drops accumulate. To remove it, you need to press hard on its lower part. After that, wash the container, completely dry, and only then install it in its place.
Another part that needs regular cleaning is the steam release valve, which is equipped with the Redmond multicooker RMC-4503. The instruction manual says that you need to carefully remove it, completely disassemble and thoroughly rinse each part, keeping it under running water. When all the elements have dried, reassemble the valve and reattach it to the multicooker.
