USING YOUR RICE COOKER

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 lid and 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.

7. Wash the steam vent. See page 13 for detailed instructions.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

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

To Cook Rice:

1. Using the measuring cup provided, measure out the desired amount of rice. One cup refers to one full, level cup. The measuring cup provided adheres to rice industry standards (180mL) and is not equal to one U.S. cup (240mL).

2. Rinse rice in a mesh strainer or other separate container (do not rinse rice in the inner pot) until the water becomes relatively clear. Drain; then place rinsed rice into the inner pot.

3. Using the measuring cup provided, or the measurement lines inside the inner pot, add the appropriate amount of water to the inner pot. A helpful rice/water measurement guide is included on page 9. Smooth over the top of the rice with the rice paddle so that rice surface is level to ensure even cooking. The measurement lines are intended for white rice only, if making brown rice refer to the brown rice instructions on page 9.

4. Place the inner pot in the rice cooker. Close the lid, making sure that it locks into place, and plug power cord into a wall outlet. The ‘START’ light will flash.

5. Press the “MENU” button until the arrow is pointing to the desired setting. Choose from white rice, brown rice or sushi rice.

6. Press “START” button. The indicator light will illuminate.

7. As the cook cycle nears completion, a countdown will appear on the digital display to count down the last 12 minutes. Once the countdown reaches 0, the rice is finished cooking.

8. After cooking, the rice cooker will automatically switch to keep warm mode and the “WARM” indicator light will illuminate. Allow rice to stand on keep warm mode for 5-10 minutes without removing the lid. This will ensure that the rice is cooked thoroughly.

9. The rice cooker will remain in keep warm mode until it is unplugged and the digital display will indicate the number of hours rice has been warming. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet when not in use.
