COOKING TIME GUIDE
HELPFUL HINTS
1. Rinse rice before placing into the inner pot to remove excess bran and
starch. This will help reduce browning and sticking to the bottom of the
pot.
2. If you have experienced any sticking with the type of rice you are using,
try adding a light coating of vegetable oil or non-stick spray to the bottom
of the inner pot before adding rice.
3. The chart on page 8 is only a general measuring guide. As there are
many different kinds of rice available (see About Rice on page 12),
rice/water measurements may vary slightly.

Cooking times are approximate. This table is for reference only. Possible
variations in cooking times may be caused by one or more of the following
factors:
• Variations in the type of rice being cooked
• Variations in the amount of rice and/or water in the inner pot
• If you are making a second batch of rice shortly after the first batch,
cooking times may be reduced because the heating element will
already be warm.
• Opening the lid during the cycle causes a loss of heat and steam.
Cooking time may be prolonged if the lid is opened before the rice is
finished.
