Before First Use:

1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and make sure items are received in good
ture
condition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Wash lid and accessories in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
5. Remove inner pot from rice cooker and clean with warm, soapy water. Rinse
and dry thoroughly before returning to cooker.
6. Wipe body clean with a damp cloth.
7. Wash the steam vent. See page 11 for detailed instructions.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Do not immerse the rice cooker base, cord or plug in water at any time.
To Cook Rice:
1.
Using the measuring cup provided, measure out the desired amount of rice.
One cup refers to one full, level cup. The measuring cup provided adheres to
rice industry standards (180mL) and is not equal to one U.S. cup.
2.
Rinse rice in a mesh strainer or other separate container (do not rinse rice in
the inner pot) until the water becomes relatively clear. Drain; then place
rinsed rice into the inner pot.
3.
Using the measuring cup provided or the measurement lines inside the inner
pot, add the appropriate amount of water to the inner pot. A helpful
rice/water measurement guide is included on page 7. Smooth over the top
of the rice with the rice paddle so that rice surface is level to ensure even
cooking.
TIP: For softer rice, allow the rice to soak for 10-20 minutes prior to beginning the
cooking cycle.
4.
Place the inner pot in the rice cooker. Close the lid, making sure that it locks
into place, and plug power cord into the rice cooker and a working wall
outlet. The 'START/REHEAT' light will flash.
5.
Press the "MENU" button until the arrow is pointing to 'Regular', which is the
rice cooking function.
The Quick Cook function will forego the soaking cycle, saving a significant
amount of time. However, we only recommend doing this if time is of the
essence. The rice produced by quick cooking will not be as good as if the
full, proper rice cycle was used.
6.
Press 'START/REHEAT' button. The indicator light will illuminate.
