HOW to USE, Before First Use, To Cook Rice

HOW TO USE

Before First Use:

1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.

2. Remove all packaging materials and make sure items are received in good condition.

3. Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.

4. Wash accessories in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

5. Remove inner pot from rice cooker and clean with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before returning to cooker.

6. Wipe body clean with a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

Do not immerse the rice cooker, cord or plug in water at any time.

To Cook Rice:

1. Using the measuring cup provided, measure and add rice to the pot. One level Aroma measuring cup equals one cup on the rice/water measurement chart included on page 7.

2. Rinse rice in the inner pot until water becomes relatively clear, then drain.

3. Using the water measurement lines inside the inner pot or the measuring cup, add appropriate amount of water.

4. Replace lid and plug power cord into outlet.

5. Press switch down to start the cooking process. The cook light will illuminate. When rice is complete, it will automatically switch to warm mode and the warm light will illuminate.

6. After cooking, allow rice to stand for 5-10 minutes without removing lid. This will ensure that rice is cooked thoroughly.

To Steam Food:

1. Measure the desired amount of water into the inner pot. A convenient steaming guide has been included on page 8.

2. Place steam tray inside rice cooker.

3. Place food in tray and press switch to cook mode. When steaming is complete, it will automatically switch to warm mode. We recommend keeping food on warm mode no longer than 5-10 minutes to avoid over cooking.

CAUTION:

• Do not open lid when in use as it will delay cooking time and will release hot steam, which may cause burns.

• If cooking pot is returned to cooker when wet, it will damage this product causing it to malfunction.
