Cooking rice

• Thoroughly wash the rice in several changes of clean water and drain. Failure to do so may cause poor results and/or a buildup of steam within the appliance. Do not wash the rice in the inner bowl as you may damage it.
• Transfer the rice to the inner bowl and level the surface of the rice. Add sufficient cold water to the corresponding level marked on the bowl e.g. to cook 3 cups of rice, place the washed rice into the inner bowl and then fill with water up to the 3 cup level. You may find that for your own personal taste you need to slightly adjust the amount of water added. For a softer rice add a little more water, and for a firmer rice a little less water.

• Transfer the inner bowl to the rice cooker ensuring that there is no rice or any moisture on the outside of the bowl.
• Cover with the lid, ensuring that the vent hole in the lid is situated away from the operator.
