BEFORE THE FIRST USE

READ BEFORE USING THE RICE COOKER FOR THE FIRST TIME.

•Wash inner pot, cover, measuring cup, rice spatula and steam rack in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

•Never immerse outer pot in water.

•Never place liquid in the outer pot; place it only in the inner pot.

•Never try to force cook lever to stay in the “Cook” position after it has shifted automatically to the “Warm” position.

•Always place inner pot inside outer pot before plugging in the rice cooker.

•When plugging in the cooker, always be sure inner pot contains liquid, or be ready to add oil, butter or margarine immediately to the inner pot.

•Save these instructions and refer to them often.

NOTE: Always wipe down the outer surface of the inner pot before placing it inside the cooker. Any moisture remaining on inner pot surface may cause a crackling noise while the unit is heating up. Except for actual cooking area, keep all surfaces dry to prevent damage to the inner workings of the appliance while it is in operation.

OPERATION

1.Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, be sure the heating plate and outside surface of the inner pot are clean and dry. Do not allow loose rice or food particles to fall into the cooker. The inner pot must fit snugly onto the heating plate to ensure proper contact for cooking. Place desired amount of rice into the inner pot. Add cold water up to the exact level indicated inside of the inner pot. Add oil, butter or margarine to prevent rice from sticking. For example: For “3” measuring cups of uncooked rice, fill water to the “3” level mark. By adding too much water you may cause the unit to boil over.

2.Taste/hardness will vary depending on the quality/type of rice and length of time it is cooked. For softer, fluffier rice add a little more water; for firmer, crunchier rice add a little less water. You may need to experiment to suit your taste. Note that brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice and requires more water.

3.Place the lid on the rice cooker. Plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The WARM indicator light will come on. Push the POWER SWITCH down and the COOK indicator light will come on. As the rice expands and cooks, steam will come out of the vent in the lid. Do not place the cooker directly under your cabinets. Slight spattering is normal.

4.When cooking is done, the cooker will automatically switch to WARM (the warm indicator light will come on) and will continue until the unit is unplugged. Rice can be kept warm for several hours. For best results, let the cooked rice sit for 15 minutes before stirring or removing. This allows the steam to finish the cooking process.

5.Fluff rice with a plastic or wood utensil and mix in ingredients such as minced vegetables, if desired.

HOW TO USE THE VEGETABLE STEAMING RACK

1.Clean and prepare the vegetables.

2.Place the inner pot into the Rice Cooker Base Unit.

3.Measure amount of water ¼ cup to 1 cup (1 cup maximum) and add to the inner pot.

4.Place the Steaming Rack into the inner pot.

5.Add vegetables and put the Glass Lid onto the Rice Cooker, and press POWER SWITCH. The length of steaming time is subject to your own personal tastes; your personal preference toward crisp, crunchy steamed vegetables or a softer consistency will depend on length of cooking time.

6.Please unplug this Rice Cooker after use.
