• If you add too much water, it may boil over through the Steam Vent.
• Do not use strongly alkalized ionic water
Do not use alkalized ionic water that is over pH 9. Rice cooked with
strongly alkalized ionic water may appear yellow or become too glutinous.
•S tir and loosen rice immediately after cooking has completed
Doing so releases excess moisture, resulting in rice that is perfectly cooked with a fluffy texture. Loosen the rice within 10
minutes after cooking completes. Not loosening the rice may cause it to clump, become too glutinous or burn.
TIPS FOR USING THE KEEP WARM MODE
•When keeping rice in the Inner Cooking Pan for later consumption, use the Keep Warm mode.
• If rice is left in the Inner Cooking Pan even though the Power Plug has been disconnected from the electrical outlet or
Keep Warm mode has been cancelled, the rice may develop a foul odor or condensed moisture may fall on the rice,
making it sticky.
•T o prevent the rice from becoming dry, wet,
developing an odor or turning yellow, do not use
the Keep Warm mode for the following.
• Keeping a small amount of rice warm for a long period.
• Keeping rice warm for 12 hours or more in Regular Keep Warm
mode or 24 hours or more in Extended Keep Warm mode.
(This may differ depending on the menu setting.)
• Adding additional rice while keeping rice warm.
• Reheating cold rice.
• Keeping porridge, congee, or steel cut oatmeal warm.
• Keeping rice warm when it contains additional ingredients and
seasonings (mixed rice or sweet rice).
