Complete Cleaning and Maintenance Guide for Noodle Cookers

A noodle machine handles water and starch every day, so how well it is cleaned directly affects serving speed and machine life. Follow this order and a machine takes two minutes to tidy up.

After every use: inner pot and heating plate

Take the inner pot out while it is still warm and rinse it with warm water. Do not soak it for a long time, which can age the sealing structure between the pot and the heating plate. Wipe the heating plate with a soft, wrung-out cloth; never use a metal brush or steel wool, as they scratch the coating.

Weekly: inside the lid and the steam vent

Wipe the inside of the lid and the steam vent with warm water once a week. Never immerse the whole unit in water, and never put it in a dishwasher.

Long storage: keep it dry

When storing the unit for a long period, remove and dry the inner pot and keep the machine in a well-ventilated dry place so that humidity does not affect the control panel or the wiring.

If something goes wrong

For anything beyond routine cleaning — uneven heating, unresponsive panel, for example — switch the unit off and contact after-sales support. Do not open the housing yourself.

Descaling is a different job

Routine cleaning deals with surface residue and organic matter. Scale is an inorganic deposit and needs a different method and a different interval. Slower water, slower heating and new crackling during heating are the signals.
