3.Using the water level markings on the inside of the cooking bowl as a guide, add the amount of water that matches the number of measures of rice to be cooked. For example, if preparing 15 measures of rice, add water to 15 cup water level mark. Adding too much water may make the appliance boil over.

4.Add butter or oil and desired seasonings.

NOTE: The first time you prepare rice use the handy rice cooking chart included in the Use and Care on pages 6 and 7. For softer, fluffy rice add a little more water; for rice that is more firm and has a drier texture add a little less water.

5.Before placing cooking bowl into rice cooker, be sure the heating plate and outside surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Avoid having rice kernels or other foods fall into the rice cooker.

6.Insert cooking bowl into rice cooker.

7.Place lid on the cooking bowl. For best results always keep lid on while cooking.

NOTE: As rice cooks, steam will escape through the vents in the lid (B). Place lid on rice cooker so vents are facing away from cabinets and walls. Do not place hands over steam vents while rice is cooking or has finished cooking; the hot steam may burn.

10.When rice is cooked, the COOK indicator light turns off and the switch pops up; the rice cooker automatically switches to the KEEP WARM function. The KEEP WARM indicator light will stay on until the appliance is unplugged.

NOTE: Do not try to stop the rice cooker from switching to the KEEP WARM mode. Do not try to press the switch once the KEEP WARM cycle has begun.

11.For best results, let the cooked rice rest for 15 minutes, covered, to further steam the rice. If holding cooked rice longer than 30 minutes, stir rice occasionally to prevent browning of rice on the bottom of the cook bowl. Just before serving, remove

lid and fluff rice.
