• The above table is 0 based on the testing conditions of 120 volts, a room temperature of 68°F, and water at a starting temperature of 64.4ºF.
• The above lengths of time are counted from Cooking till the Keep Warm process. Actual times may vary depending on the voltage, room temperature, season, and the amount of water used.

Please Follow:

• Do not open the Outer Lid during cooking to prevent imperfect cooking results.
• When cooking more than one pot of rice consecutively, allow the Main Body and the Outer Lid to cool down to body temperature; otherwise it will not cook well.
• To prevent breakdown, do not press the COOKING button when the Inner Cooking Pan is empty.
• Depending on cooking conditions, the bottom portion of the rice may become slightly browned.

HOW TO COOK RINSE-FREE RICE

1. Measure the rinse-free rice with the provided green Rinse-Free Measuring Cup.
   One leveled cup of rinse-free rice in the provided green Measuring Cup (for rinse-free rice) is approx. 5.8 oz.
   
2. Add enough water to cover the rice and gently stir 2-3 times to separate the grains, and then adjust the amount of water.
   Place the Inner Cooking Pan on a flat surface. Add water to the water level according to the menu setting you have chosen (see "TIPS TO COOKING GREAT-TASTING RICE BY MENUS"). For an accurate measurement, level the surface of the rice.
   

• Depending on the rice polishing method, starch may be left on the surface of the rice. If the water becomes cloudy, change the water and rinse once or twice to prevent scorching, boiling over or imperfect cooking.
• When cooking rice with seasonings, mix well from the bottom of the Inner Cooking Pan.
• The rice may be cooked immediately after rinsing, as soaking is not required. Soaking the rice will soften the texture of the rice.

3. Select the RINSE-FREE menu by pressing the button.
   
4. Press the button.
