• The minimum capacity, maximum capacity and available cooking capacity of the water level scale of inner cooking pot differ from each other.
  The actual cooking time will change based on rice volume, water temperature, water volume and others for about 10 minutes. Please take the cooking time as the estimated time.
  (When cooking conditions include 220-240V voltage and 23°C room temperature and water temperature and water volume is adjusted to the standard value)
• Please reduce rice volume to cook congee.
  Please do not add water higher than the maximum water level scale ("2") of "CONGEE".
• 18-minute quick cook: 1-2 cups of rice, hot water at least 70°C, cooking time about 18 minutes;
  Ordinary quick cook: If no hot water is added or when cooking more than 2 cups of rice, it automatically switches to ordinary quick cook and the cooking time is 25-35 minutes.

• Choose high-quality brown rice for germinated raw rice. The sprouts of new rice of current year have a survival period of 1 year. A complete and energetic seed must be 100% alive.
  The germ retention rate reaches 80%.

Cooking tips (below)

• Soak the organic sugar rice in warm water of 35-40°C in advance to achieve better germination effect; you can also skip the soaking process and cook directly.
• Odors (organic acids, esters, etc.) will be produced when organic sugar rice is soaked (germinated). The water needs to be changed every 4 hours.
