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 3 measures of
rice and yield a maximum of about 6 cups of cooked rice.
2. Place rice in the cooking bowl.
Important: 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.
Important: Follow the instructions on the rice packaging.
4. Add butter, oil and desired seasonings.
Note: For softer, fluffy rice add a little more water; for rice that 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.
Important: 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 KEEP 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 KEEP
WARM indicator light will stay on until the appliance is unplugged.
Note: Do not try to stop the rice cooker from switching to the KEEP 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 cooking bowl.
12. Just before serving, remove lid and fluff rice. Use serving scoop provided with
appliance to prevent damage to nonstick surface of the cooking bowl.
Caution: When removing the lid, always lift it away from the body to prevent getting
burned from the hot steam.
