Why is there a plastic-looking film on my rice after it’s cooked?

Why are there stains/rust spots inside my kettle?

How do I clean my water dispenser?
Remove the upper tank along with the filter. Add about 1L of water and squeeze half a lemon into the bottom tank. Start dispensing hot water till its almost empty. (Do make sure to NOT dispense when there is close to or no water at all as it can affect the product performance in the long run.) Discard the water and introduce a fresh batch. Dispense water a few more times to eliminate the lemon flavor, and it's ready for use.
Why is the water temperature not accurate when dispensed?
Unlike normal airpots, water boils over 100 degrees celsius so water stays very hot for a much longer time. As compared to instant water dispensers, water is heated exactly up to the selected temperature. With the surrounding air, the water temperature will drop slightly once it reaches your cup, but it should not vary too drastically.
Can I stop the water flow if I just want a small amount?
Press the dispense button again to stop the flow.
