Tips on making delicious rice

Select good quality rice and a good
storage location.
• Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a
uniform grain size.
• Store rice in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place.
Carefully measure the rice with the
supplied measuring cup.
1 cup (level filling) is approximately 0.18 L.
• Use the supplied measuring cup for rinse-free
rice as well.
Rinse the rice quickly.
Pour rice in the inner pot and add plenty of water.
Lightly stir the rice and discard the water quickly.
Use cold water and quickly rinse the rice so that
the rice does not absorb the starchy water.
Cooking rinse-free rice
• Add rinse-free rice and water, and then stir well
from the bottom so that every individual grain
of rice becomes immersed in the water. (Just
adding water to the rice does not allow the rice
to be soaked in the water and may result in
improperly cooked rice.)
• If the added water turns white, we recommend
you rinse the rice thoroughly by replacing the
water once or twice. (The water turning white
is due to the starch in the rice and not its bran.
However, cooking it with the starch left in the
water may result in improperly cooked or burned
rice, or the contents boiling over.)

Read P.16 to P.17 for preparations
before cooking rice and P.18 to 25 for
how to cook rice.
Amount of water to add
Use the corresponding scale on the inner pot as
a guide. Add water according to the type of rice
and your personal preference. If adding more or
less water than the recommended amount, do not
deviate from that amount by any more than 1/3 of
one line. Doing so may cause the contents to boil
over, etc.

• When cooking rinse-free rice, use the "Plain"
scale as a reference but add a little extra water
(until it just covers the corresponding line).
• When cooking germinated brown rice, whole
rice, semi-polished rice, barley, or multigrain
rice, use the "Plain" scale as a reference.
• If the amount of water to add is specified on a
package of barley, germinated brown rice, or
mixed grains, follow those directions and add
water according to your personal preference.
Cooking germinated brown rice, whole
rice, and semi-polished rice
Select the "Multigrain" menu.
Adding other ingredients to rice
The total amount of ingredients should be no
more than approximately 70 g per cup of rice (the
"Porridge" menu is excluded).
Mix seasonings well and then add other
ingredients on top of the rice. If other ingredients
are to be added to the rice, be sure to use no
more than the acceptable maximum amount (refer
to the table below).

Sweet 3 cups 5 cups
Mixed 3 cups 6 cups
• Do not open the lid during cooking to add other
ingredients.
• Add water prior to adding the ingredients.
Adding water after the ingredients results in the
cooked rice being too firm.
• The following cases may result in improperly
cooked or burned rice in the inner pot.
∙ When too much of seasonings such as soy
sauce, sweet cooking rice wine, etc. are added
∙ When seasonings have sunk to the bottom
∙ When ketchup or tomato sauce is added
∙ When other ingredients are mixed with rice
• When adding ingredients to porridge, add
water to the rice so that the water level after the
ingredients are added is not over the top line of
the "Porridge" scale.
Cooking sweet rice
Rinse the rice and then level it out so that all of
the rice is under water.
Cooking other grains together with white
rice
• The amount of other grains should be less than
20% of the volume of the white rice.
• The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of white rice and other grains is 3
cups with the 1.0 L type and 6 cups with the 1.8
L type.
• Place the other grains on top of the white rice.
Mixing them together may result in improperly
cooked food.
• Do not mix in amaranth or other small grains
that may cause clogging.
Cooking other grains together with brown
rice
• Be sure to select the "Brown" menu.
• The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of brown rice and other grains is 3.5
cups with the 1.0 L type and 6 cups with the 1.8
L type.
Cooking brown rice and/or multigrain
brown rice mixed in with white rice
• Multigrain brown rice is brown rice mixed with
other grains.
• If the rice to be cooked includes more brown
rice and/or multigrain brown rice than white rice,
use the "Brown" menu.
• If there is an equal amount of brown rice or
multigrain brown rice and white rice, or there
is more white rice than brown rice or multigrain
brown rice, use the "Plain" menu. (The brown
rice or multigrain brown rice should be soaked
separately for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)
• The maximum acceptable amount when
combining brown rice, multigrain brown rice, and
white rice is 3.5 cups for the 1.0 L type, and 6
cups for the 1.8 L type.
Cooking long-grain rice
• When cooking long-grain rice, select the "Long-
grain" menu. When cooking seasoned rice with
various ingredients using long-grain rice, select
the "Mixed" menu. Selecting any other menu
may result in improperly cooked food.
