HOW TO COOK RICE

SPECIAL NOTE: The rice-measuring cup included with cooker is based on 51/2 ounces (160ml) rather than a standard 8-ounce (240ml) measuring cup. This rice cooker can cook up to 12 measures of rice. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of rice cooker as this can result in a boil over. Typically, each measure of raw rice will yield about 2 cups cooked rice. A ¼ teaspoon of added salt will help reduce spitting that may occur.

**If you are only cooking rice, remove the steam basket during cooking.

1.Place heating base on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.

2.Before placing rice-cooking pot into heating base, make sure heating plate in base and outside of rice pot are clean and dry. Do not let loose rice or particles fall into base, as this will affect cooking.

3.Using rice-measuring cup, add desired number of cups of rice to pot first. Add cold water to the corresponding cup level mark on rice pot. For instance, if 4 measures of rice are added, fill pot with water to the 4-cup mark. This is the amount of water needed to cook this amount of rice. Do not exceed maximum marking on pot to prevent boil over.

4.Twist rice pot back and forth to make sure it is in contact with heating plate. Place cover on pot.

5.Attach cord to heating base, and plug into a 120-volt AC electric outlet only.

6.When plugged in, press switch lever down. Red “COOK” light will glow indicating cooker is on. See cooking chart for approximate times for different amounts of rice. Brown rice will take longer to cook than white rice, which is normal. As the rice cooks, steam will come out of vent, therefore do not put cooker directly under cabinet to prevent possible damage. Some water may also spit from cover onto counter, which is normal.

7.When done, cooker will automatically switch to “WARM” setting and the yellow light will glow. The red “COOK” light will go out and the yellow “WARM” light will go on. Keep lid closed for 15 minutes to ensure thorough cooking. Carefully remove cover with oven mitt to prevent steam burn. Stir rice with plastic or wooden spoon before serving. Rice will be kept warm between 140°F-176°F or 60°C-80°C for serving. The red “COOK” light will cycle on and off to maintain this temperature. Keep covered as much as possible to prevent rice from drying out. If rice is to be served immediately, unplug cord from outlet. When less than two cups of rice remain, turn unit off by unplugging cord from outlet. Use oven mitts to remove rice pot. Allow cooker and all parts to cool before cleaning.
