Use the measuring cup included to measure the rice.
Firstly, swill the rice in a large
quantity of water to wash it and
then pour off the water right away.
Swill the rinse-
free rice from
the bottom and
rinse it if water
is cloudy.
(Cloudy water
might cause the
rice not to cook

well.)
Level out the rice, place the inner pot on a level surface, and use
the water level gauge to adjust the amount of water to match the
type and amount of rice and the cooking method.
(Water level gauge
Ex: When cooking 1 cup of rice for "Normal".
The water line is a guideline. You can adjust the amount of water for your preference.
To cook hard rice for "Sushi" or "Curry", use the water level on the "Hard" water gauge.
To cook soft rice, use the water level on the "Soft" water gauge. Do not
add water above the "Soft" water level. (Adding more water than this could
cause hot water spray out during cooking.)
ATTENTION

Fill the cup to the brim for 1 cup.
Fill the cup to an intermediate
level for 0.5 cup.
The rice easily absorbs
the first water, so
discard it right away to
keep the rice dust from
sticking to the rice.
When washing the rice in the inner pot, do not use a metal whisk or other tool.
(Such tools could scrape off the fluorine coating.)

●
Do not use hot water. (It will make the rice sticky.)
●
Cooking with highly alkaline water could cause the rice to become
sticky or turn yellow. Also, cooking the rice in hard water (foreign
mineral water, etc.) could cause the rice to become crunchy or hard.
Adjust the amount of water for your preference.
●
When cooking freshly harvested rice, as a guide, make a small
adjustment to the water level on the "Hard" water gauge. Cooking
freshly harvested rice with too much water will make it sticky.
●
For the water level to cook rice cereals, refer to a commercially-available
explanatory leaflet on cereals (including the explanation on the package
of cereals) as well.
Do not use commercially

available measuring cup
or measuring rice bin.
(The amount of rice may differ.)
Repeat this step until the
water remains clear.
Wash the rice well to
prevent scorching
and a residual smell
from the rice dust.
