1.After each use, allow the HA cooker to cool completely before cleaning. Wash with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Do not use abrasive scrubbers or steel wool, as they can damage the anodized surface. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Dry thoroughly to maintain its finish and prevent water spots. 2. Do not overheat the HA cooker or leave it on high heat for extended periods. While hard anodized cookware is more resistant to damage, prolonged high heat can still cause discoloration or reduce performance over time. Always cook on medium to low heat unless a recipe calls for otherwise. 3. Ensure the cooker is completely dry before storing it, especially after washing. This helps prevent water spots or staining, and prolongs the life of the anodized surface, particularly in areas with hard water. 4. Hard anodized aluminium is tougher than regular aluminium but can still be scratched or damaged if mishandled. Avoid dropping or banging it against hard surfaces. Store carefully to preserve the cookware’s integrity and sleek appearance.
