How to Use

This appliance is for household use only.

COOKING RICE

1. Measure desired amount of rice to be cooked using rice measure provided; do not use
1 cup measuring cup. (The rice measure provided holds 2/3 cup uncooked rice -
about 5 oz. or 150 grams) This rice cooker can cook up to 10 measures of rice and
yield a maximum of about 20 cups of cooked rice.
2. Place rice in the cooking bowl.
Note: Use only the cooking bowl provided with this appliance to cook rice.
3. Using the water level markings on the inside of the cooking bowl as a guide, add
amount of water that matches the amount of rice to be cooked. For example,
if preparing 1 measure of rice, add water to the 1-cup water level mark. Adding too
much water may make the appliance boil over.
4. Add butter, oil and desired seasonings.
Note: The first time you prepare rice, use the handy rice guide on page 6. For softer, fluffy
rice add a little more water; for rice that is more firm and has a firmer texture add a little
less water.
5. Before placing cooking bowl into rice cooker, be sure the heating plate and outside
surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Avoid having rice kernels or other
ingredients fall into the rice cooker.
6. Insert cooking bowl into rice cooker.
7. Place glass lid on the cooking bowl. For best results always keep glass lid on while
cooking.
NOTE: As rice cooks, steam will escape through vent in lid. Place glass lid on rice cooker
so steam vent is facing away from cabinets and walls. Do not place hand over steam vent
while rice is cooking; the hot steam may burn.
8. Uncoil cord and plug into standard electrical outlet. The WARM indicator light
comes on.
9. Press down the ON switch. The COOK indicator light comes on and cooking begins.
10. When rice is cooked, the COOK indicator light shuts off and the switch pops up and
the rice cooker automatically switches to the Keep Warm function. The WARM
indicator light will stay on until the appliance is unplugged.
Note: Do not try to stop the rice cooker from switching to the Warm mode. Do not try
to press the ON switch once the Warm cycle has begun.
11. For best results, let the cooked rice rest for 15 minutes, covered, to further steam the
rice. If holding cooked rice longer than 30 minutes, stir rice occasionally to prevent
browning of rice on the bottom of the cook bowl.
