BEFORE FIRST USE
1.Wash cooking pot and lid following the “Cleaning” instructions in this Use & Care Guide. Dry thoroughly.
2.Do not throw away the plastic rice-measurer that came with your unit. This is an important tool in using your rice cooker successfully and its size is standard in the rice industry. One rice-measurer cup does not equal one standard U.S. cup (plastic rice-measurer is 6 oz/180 ml or approximately ¾ U.S. cup). When directed to use “1 cup” for either rice or water, this means use one full, level rice-measurer cup. Most rice package directions are listed in terms of rice-measurer cups.
3.The most important detail when cooking rice is the ratio of rice to water. A good general ratio is two parts water to one part rice (please see illustration above). If for some reason you lose or misplace the plastic rice-measurer, measure BOTH rice and water using a standard U.S. cup–your rice will turn out just as well. To prevent overflow and/or overheating, do not exceed the 10-cup line when both rice and water are added to cooking pot.
