Before First Use

1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and check that all items have been received in good condition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags and dispose of them properly as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Wash the steam vent and all other accessories in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
5. Remove the inner pot from the rice cooker and clean with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before returning to the cooker.
6. Wipe the cooker body clean with a damp cloth.

To Clean

1. Remove the steam vent when the rice cooker has completely cooled.
2. Remove the condensation collector.
3. Soak the inner pot and all accessories or wash them in the top rack of the dishwasher.
4. Wipe the rice cooker body clean with a damp cloth.
5. Thoroughly dry the rice cooker body and all accessories.
6. Reassemble for next use.

Note:

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or products that are not considered safe to use on nonstick coatings.
• If washing in the dishwasher, a slight discoloration to the inner pot and accessories may occur. This is cosmetic only and will not affect performance.
• Any other servicing should be performed by Aroma Housewares.

Troubleshooting

• Grain is too dry/hard after cooking

If your grain is dry or hard/chewy when the rice cooker switches to Keep Warm, additional water and cooking time will soften it. Depending on how dry the grain is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir thoroughly. Close the lid and press the desired function button. When rice cooker switches to Keep Warm mode, open the lid and stir to check the consistency. Repeat as necessary until soft and moist.

• Grain is too moist/soggy after cooking

If your grain is still too moist or soggy when the rice cooker switches to Keep Warm, use the serving spatula and stir. This will redistribute the bottom (moist) part of the grain and release excess moisture. Close the lid and allow to remain on Keep Warm mode for 10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid and stirring periodically to release excess moisture.

Helpful Hints:
The provided rice measuring cup is the equivalent to a 3/4 standard U.S. cup.

Note:

• Because of different varieties of rice, results may vary. Refer to these troubleshooting tips to help you achieve the desired consistency.

Cooking Rice

1. Using the provided measuring cup, add rice to the inner pot.
2. Rinse rice to remove excess starch. Drain.
3. Fill with water to the line which matches the number of cups of rice being cooked.
4. Place the inner pot into the rice cooker and close the lid securely.
5. Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC wall outlet.
6. Press the ( ) button to turn on the rice cooker.
7. Press White Rice, Sushi Rice or Brown Rice, depending on the type of rice being cooked.
8. The indicator light will illuminate. The unit will beep and the display will begin a chasing pattern. The rice cooker will now begin cooking.
9. The digital display will show a countdown for the final 10 minutes of cook time.
10. Once finished, the rice cooker will beep and automatically switch to Keep Warm.
11. For best results, stir the rice with the serving spatula to distribute any remaining moisture.
12. When finished serving rice, turn the rice cooker off by pressing ( ) twice and unplug the power cord.

Note:

• Before placing the inner pot into the rice cooker, check that it is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the rice cooker.
• Some grains require a much longer cooking cycle than others due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The Brown Rice function on this rice cooker allows extra time and adjusted heat settings in order to cook the grain properly. If it appears the rice cooker is not heating up immediately on the Brown Rice setting, this is due to a low-heat soak cycle that precedes the cooking cycle to produce better results.
• Food should not be left in the rice cooker on Keep Warm for more than 12 hours.

Helpful Hints:
If you misplace the measuring cup, a ¾ standard U.S. cup is an exact replacement.
To add more flavor to rice, try substituting a favorite meat or vegetable broth or stock. The ratio of broth/stock to rice will be the same as water to rice.
For approximate rice and grain cooking times and suggested rice/ water ratios, see the "Rice/Grain & Water Measurement Tables".

Quick Rice

1. Using the provided measuring cup, add rice to the inner pot.
2. Rinse rice to remove excess starch. Drain.

11. For better results, stir the rice with the serving spatula to distribute any remaining moisture.
12. When finished serving rice, turn the rice cooker off by pressing ( ) twice and unplug the power cord.

Note:

• Due to extra soaking time needed for brown rice, the Quick Rice function is best for white rice. However, if you are using brown rice, add an additional 1 ¹/₂ rice measuring cups of water to compensate for the lack of soaking time.
• See "Quick Rice Comparison Table" for approximate time savings compared to the White Rice function.

* To properly steam, make sure there are at least 3 rice measuring cups of liquid in the inner pot.

Note:

• Cooking times are approximate. Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will affect cooking times.
• Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no need to increase the amount of water when steaming a large serving of vegetables.
• To ensure meat tastes its best, and to prevent possible illness, check that meat is completely cooked prior to serving. If it is not, simply place more water in the inner pot and repeat the cooking process until the meat is cooked.

Helpful Hints:
If the recipe calls for ingredients to be seared or browned before slow cooking, use Sauté- then-Simmer to sear meat, then switch to Slow Cook to finish cooking.
Opening the lid during the cooking cycle causes a loss of heat and steam. Cooking time may be prolonged if the lid is opened before the food is finished.

Note:

• Slow cooking requires a small amount of liquid. Without liquid, the cooker will automatically switch to Keep Warm.
