Preparations before use

Before using the rice cooker, you need to follow the preparation:

2. Wash the rice thoroughly.
   
3. Put the pre-washed rice in the inner pot.

Note

• Each cup of uncooked rice normally gives 3 cups of cooked rice. Do not exceed the quantities indicated on the inside of the inner pot.
• The level marked inside the inner pot is just an indication. You can always adjust the water level for different types of rice and your own preference. If the voltage is unstable at the area you live, it is possible that the rice cooker overflows.
• Besides following the water level indications, you can also add rice and water at 1:1-1.2 ratio for rice cooking. Do not exceed the quantities indicated on the inside of the inner pot.
• Use a separate container to wash the rice to avoid damaging the non-stick coating of the inner pot.
