Unplug the cooker and allow it to cool completely before handling.
Remove the inner rice cooker, and fill it with hot water and a generous amount of dish-washing liquid.
Allow the inner cooker to sit until the rice is easily sponged away from the sides and bottom with a soft sponge or rag.
Clean the lid, condensation cup, steamer tray, rice paddle and measuring cup thoroughly with hot, soapy water.
Dry the cooker and accessories immediately with a dish towel, and use the towel to wipe down the outer heating unit.
