Cooking Rice

1. Using the provided measuring cup, add rice to
the inner pot.

3. Fill with water to the line which matches the
number of cups of rice being cooked.
4. Place the inner pot into the cooker.*
5. Close the lid securely.
6. Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC
wall outlet.
7. Press the Cook switch down 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
automatically flip up and switch into Warm
mode.
10. For better 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.
Caution:
The rice cooker will not
switch to Warm mode
until all liquid is boiled
away. Follow your
recipe carefully and do
not leave the rice cooker
unattended.
Note:
* Before placing the inner
pot into the cooker,
check that it is dry and
free of debris. Adding
the inner pot when
wet may damage the
cooker.
· Brown Rice requires a
much longer cooking
cycle than other rice
varieties due to the
extra bran layers on the
grains.
· Rice should not be left in
the cooker on Warm for
more than 12 hours.

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
Table" on page 8.
