Before Cooking Rice

1
Measure the rice.
Be sure to use the supplied measuring cup.
Filling the supplied measuring cup until it is
level is approximately 0.18 L, which is less
than 1 cup of a U.S. standardized measuring
cup.
Tips
● Use the supplied measuring cup for rinse-free rice
as well.
Correct measurement Incorrect measurement
Note
● Be sure to use the specified volume of rice (see
the specifications table on P 43) to ensure
properly cooked rice.
If other ingredients are to be added to the rice,
see P 13.
2
Rinse the rice. (Rice can be
rinsed in the inner pot.)
For rinse-free rice, see P 13.
Note
● Do not use hot water (over 95°F [35°C]) to rinse
or cook rice. It may prevent the rice from cooking
properly.
● Do not apply too much force while rinsing rice.
Doing so may cause the inner pot to be deformed,
preventing rice from cooking properly.
3
Adjust the water level.
Place the inner pot on a level surface and
adjust the water level to the appropriate line
of the corresponding scale on the inside of
the pot.
Tips
● Check the type of rice and the menu and adjust
the water level to your personal preference. (See
the guidelines on P 13)
When cooking 3 cups
of white rice, adjust the
water level to line
"3" on the "Plain" scale.
