Quick
For cooking white rice
• Since the cooking time is prioritized, the rice may be a little tough or slightly watery. If
this is a concern, soak the rice in water before cooking, or keep warm for longer time.
• Do not use "Quick" menu for the following items
Mixed rice / Porridge / Rice other than white rice and rinse-free rice / Multigrain rice /
Germinated brown rice
Rinse-free rice
• After filling water, stir the bottom to blend in the rice and water. If the water becomes
cloudy, rinse the rice once or twice. (To prevent poor cooking, burning or spilling over)
To mix multigrain and germinated brown rice
• When cooking multigrain and germinated brown rice, use the cooking menu
"Washed/Grains" and the water level of "White rice". (The amount of rice is limited
up to 2 cups.)
• Mixing 1 cup of white rice with 0.5 cup of germinated brown rice is recommended.
Cooking only germinated brown rice 100% can do as well.
• See also the instructions for cooking multigrain rice or germinated brown rice.
• Be sure to wash the inside of the steam vent after cooking as the steam vent gets dirty easily.
When mixing multigrain that fl oat on water, soak them for 2 to 3 hours to leave them until sinking before cooking
the rice. (To avoid clogging of the steam vent, causing steam leak, deformation and damage)
Porridge / Congee
Be sure to cook with "Congee" menu (If you use other modes for cooking porridge / congee, it may cause
spills or burns.)
• Cook with white rice, brown rice can't cook well. (Don't cook porridge/congee from cooked rice.)
• Seasoning with salt or etc. should be added after the rice is cooked. (If you add salt and other seasonings at the beginning,
the rice may not be cooked properly.)
• Depending on the quality of the rice, the water temperature, and the way you wash the rice, a little rice juice may come
out of the steam vent.
Do not add the green vegetables at the start. (The steam port is clogged, causes of steam leaks, burns, and
damage) Add the boiled greens after the rice is cooked.
Attention
• Select the "Cooking Menu" and "Water Level" that suit the menu you want to cook. (Page 10)
• If you want to cook tough or soft rice, adjust the amount of water to within 2mm of the water level scale.
If the amount of water is too little, the rice may not be cooked properly, and if too much water is added, the rice may spill
over.
• Do not keep warm cooked mix rice, multigrain rice, germinated brown rice, porridge/congee, etc. other than white rice
and rinse-free rice. (Cause of odor, discoloration and corrosion of the inner pot)
• The rice is cooked with cooking heater, so the bottom of the rice is soft, so be sure to loosen the whole rice.
• Depending on the amount of rice cooked, the rice may burn to light brown color.
• "Washed/Grains" menu should be used for rinse-free rice, multigrain rice and germinated brown rice.
Do not cook multigrain alone
