Reheating Cooked Rice
For piping hot rice, reheat the rice that is being kept
warm before serving it.
Note
● Rice will not be fully heated if more than half of
the inner pot is full.
● The rice will end up being dry if reheated under
any of the following conditions.
• The rice is still hot, such as immediately after
cooking.
• There is less than the minimum required
amount of rice (1 cup with the 1.0 L type, 2
cups with the 1.8 L type).
• The rice is reheated 3 times or more.
1
Stir and loosen the rice that was
being kept warm.
2
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water
evenly over the rice.
● Adding water will prevent the rice from drying out
and result in plumper rice.
3
Make sure that the Keep Warm
lamp is on.
On
• Reheating is not available if the Keep Warm
lamp is not on. If the lamp is not on, press
the [Keep Warm • 保温] key. (See p.21.)

饭/免洗米] key.

start.
The remaining time will be displayed and an
alarm (3 long beeps) will sound when the
operation is completed.
Blinks
• To stop reheating, press the [Cancel • 取消]
key.
• Reheating is not available if the rice is too
cold (55˚C or lower as a guideline). In this
case, a repeated beeping alarm will sound.

Stir and loosen the reheated
rice well, and even it out in the
inner pot.

Cooking Rice and Side Dishes Together
You can use the cooking plate to cook side dishes
described in the supplied "COOKBOOK" at the same
time as you cook rice. You can also add water to the
inner pot and cook side dishes without making rice.
Refer to the supplied "COOKBOOK" for directions.
Note
● Do not cook with a greater volume of ingredients
than that indicated in the supplied "COOKBOOK".
Doing so may cause the contents to boil over or
result in improperly cooked food.
● Be careful of the following points when using the
cooking plate.
• When cooking dishes with a strong odor, the
odor may adhere to the cooking plate.
• When cooking ingredients with a strong color,
that color may be transferred to the cooking
plate through the broth, etc.
• Do not use sharp instruments like kitchen knives,
table knives, or forks inside the cooking plate.
Precautions for ingredients to be placed in the
cooking plate
● Do not fill up the cooking plate with ingredients.
● Spread or make spaces between ingredients so
that steam is applied evenly (fill up to the position
shown below).
Fill ingredients up
to under the base of
the carrying handle.
● Do not allow the center hole of the inner lid to be
blocked with ingredients.
● Only use a small amount of liquid such as water or
sauce (it takes time to heat a large amount of liquid).
● If milk or fresh cream is separated during use, stir it well.
● Only use a small amount of leavening ingredients
such as pancake mix (about 1/3 of the cooking
plate). Be careful about the number of eggs
because they increase in volume (2-3 eggs
(medium size) for 5-cup rice cooker, 3-4 eggs
(medium size) for 10-cup rice cooker can be
added. Adjustment may be necessary when you
add other ingredients.).
● Cut the root vegetables in thin slices as it takes a
long time to cook them.
● Using the cooking plate, only steaming is possible.
Note
● If heating is not sufficient while cooking by
following the above suggestions, transfer the
ingredients to another container, and reheat them
using a device such as a microwave (do not put
the inner pot and cooking plate in the microwave).

preparations for cooking rice.
(See p.14.)
