the "BRoWn RICe" markings when cooking brown rice and "oTHeR RICe" for all
other varieties.

of time it is cooked. For softer, fluffier rice, add a little more water. For firmer,
crunchier rice, add a little less water. See CookIng gUIde. You may need to
experiment to suit your taste.

cooker automatically switches to the keep warm function. The Warm light comes

the rice. If holding rice for longer than 30 minutes, stir occasionally to prevent
