1. Place the cooking bowl into the cooking base.
2. Measure desired amount of grain with the provided measuring cup.
3. Rinse the grain with water to remove any excess starch and then drain.
4. Add the grain to the cooking bowl.
5. Using the measuring cup provided add the required amount of water to match the
number of cups of grain being cooked (refer to Cooking Chart).
DO NOT fill past the maximum volume printed in the cooking bowl.
NOTE: Boiling water, rather than water at room temperature will speed up the cooking
process. Please adjust cooking times to be less than recommended when using boiling
water.
6. Place the cooking bowl into the cooking base, then close lid.
7. Plug in the appliance. The dashes on the display will blink, indicating that the unit is

8. Select the desired grain setting by pressing the (GRANOS/LEGUMBRES) button until
the light above the desired grain flashes.
9. Press the (INICIAR/DETENER) button and the light above your selected grain will turn
solid. The display screen will illustrate that the cooking has begun through either a
time count down or dashes flashing in a clockwise rotation.
NOTE: When using (QUINOA o LENTEJAS) programs, the display screen will show a time
count down. This means that the food will cook for the set length of time.
NOTE: When using (FRIJOLES) programs, the display screen will show rotating dashes.
This means that the food will cook until water is absorbed.
10. When the program has concluded the cooker will produce three beeps signifying
that your grain is ready. The grain cooker will switch to (MANTENER CALIENTE) and
the display will start counting up the minutes for up to 4 hours.
11. To turn the grain cooker off, press the (INICIAR/DETENER) button. Unplug the
appliance when not in use and always allow the grain cooker to completely cool
