BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and check that all items have
been received in good condition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.

TO COOK RICE
1. Using the provided measuring cup, add rice to the inner cooking pot.
2. Rinse rice to remove excess starch. Drain.
3. Fill with water to the line which matches the number of cups of rice being cooked. Due to the extra layers of bran, brown rice
will require more water. See the "Rice/Water Measurement Tables" below for water amounts.
4. Place the inner cooking pot into the rice cooker.
NOTE:
• Before placing the cooking pot into the rice
cooker, check that the cooking pot is dry and
free of debris. Adding the cooking pot when
wet may damage the rice cooker.
5. Place the tempered glass lid securely onto the rice cooker.
6. Plug the cord into an available outlet.
7. Press the Cook Switch to begin cooking.
8. The Cook Indicator Light will illuminate as the rice cooker begins cooking the rice.
9. When rice is ready, the Cook Switch will flip up and switch into Keep-Warm mode and the Warm Indicator Light will illuminate.
10. For best results, stir the rice with the serving spatula to distribute any remaining moisture.
11. When finished serving rice, unplug the power cord to turn the rice cooker off.
NOTE:
• Rice should not be left in the rice cooker on Keep-Warm for more than 12 hours.
HELPFUL HINTS:
• To cook Soup, Chili or Stew in your rice cooker: Add ingredients then press the Cook Switch to begin cooking. Using caution to
avoid escaping steam, remove the lid and stir occasionally with a long-handled wooden spatula. Once food is fully cooked, push the
COOK SWITCH up to switch the rice cooker to Keep-Warm. When finished serving, turn the rice cooker off by unplugging the power
cord.

NOTE:
• Brown rice takes longer to cook and requires more water than white rice due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The water lines
in the inner pot are meant for white rice only. Please see the chart above for brown rice/water ratios.
• Brown rice, wild rice and rice mixes vary in their make-up. Some variations may require longer cooking times and/or additional water
in order to achieve optimum results. Refer to the individual package instructions for cooking suggestions.
• The measuring cup included adheres to rice industry standards (180mL) and is not equal to one U.S. cup. The chart above refers to
cups of rice/water according to the measuring cup provided.
• Do not place more than 3 cups of uncooked rice (2 cups if brown rice) into this appliance at one time. The maximum
capacity of this unit is 3 cups raw rice (2 cups if brown rice) which yields 6 cups of cooked rice (4 cups brown rice).
Instruction Manual
HELPFUL HINTS:
• If you misplace the measuring cup, a ¾ standard US cup is an exact replacement.
• To add more flavor to rice, try substituting a favorite meat or vegetable broth or
stock. The ratio of broth/stock to rice will be the same as water to rice.
• For approximate rice cooking times and suggested rice/water ratios, see the "Rice/
Water Measurement Tables" below.
