How to Use

This appliance is for household use only.

PRELIMINARY STEPS

• Before first use, wash the cooking bowl, glass lid, serving scoop, steaming
basket and rice measuring cup in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry well.
• Place unit on a flat, stable surface.
Note: As the rice expands and cooks, steam will come out of the vent in the lid.
Do not place the rice cooker directly under your cabinets.

COOKING RICE

1. Measure desired amount of rice with the rice measuring cup provided. Add
butter, oil and/or seasonings as desired.
Note: The rice measure provided is based on 5
Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable nonstick
cooking bowl provided.
2. Place rice in the cooking bowl. Add water. Use the water-level markings
inside the cooking bowl as a guide for adding the appropriate amount of
water. For example, for 4 measures of uncooked rice, fill with water to
water-level marking.
3. Be careful not to add too much water as it may cause the unit to boil over.
Use the "BROWN RICE" markings when cooking brown rice and "OTHER
RICE" for all other varieties.
Note: Taste/hardness will vary depending on the quality/type of rice and length
of time it is cooked. For softer, fluffier rice, add a little more water. For firmer,
crunchier rice, add a little less water. You may need to experiment to suit your
taste.
4. Before placing the cooking bowl into the rice cooker, be sure the heating
plate and outside surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Do not let
loose rice or particles fall into the rice cooker.
5. Insert cooking bowl into the rice cooker. You might have to turn it slightly to
the left and right to ensure proper contact with the heating plate.
6. Place the lid on the rice cooker.
Note: Always keep the lid on the rice cooker while cooking.
7. Plug into a standard electrical outlet. The WARM (CALENTAR) indicator
light comes on.
8. Press down the ON switch. The COOK (COCINAR) indicator light comes
on and cooking begins. As the rice expands and cooks, steam comes out
through the steam vent on the lid.
Caution: Do not put your hand over the steam vent as you may get burned
with the hot steam.
9. Once rice is cooked, the COOK (COCINAR) indicator light turns off, the
switch pops up and the rice cooker automatically switches to the keep warm
function. The WARM (CALENTAR) indicator light comes on and stays ON,
indicating serving temperature is maintained.
Note: The unit will stay in the keep warm cycle until it is unplugged. Do not
try to prevent the rice cooker from switching to the keep warm cycle. Do not
immediately press the On switch again after it has begun the keep warm cycle.
10. After the switch pops up, leave the lid on for at least 15 minutes to further
steam the rice. If holding rice for longer than 30 minutes, stir occasionally to
prevent browning of rice on the bottom of cooking bowl.
