NOTE

• Brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice due to the extra bran layers on the grains. When cooking brown rice, add an ADDITIONAL 1/4 cup of water for every cup of uncooked rice.

• Wild rice and rice medleys vary in their contents. Some rice mixes will require longer cooking times and/or additional water. Refer to the package instructions for cooking suggestions.

• The measuring cup included adheres to rice industry standards and is not equal to one U.S. cup. The chart above refers to cups of rice/water according to the measuring cup provided.

• Do not place more than 8 cups of uncooked rice into this appliance at one time. The maximum capacity of this unit is 8 cups (uncooked) which yields 16 cups of cooked rice.

HELPFUL HINTS

1. Rinse rice before placing into the inner pot to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning and sticking to the bottom of the pot.

2. If you have experienced any sticking with the type of rice you are using, try adding a light coating of vegetable oil or non-stick spray to the bottom of the inner pot before adding rice.

3. The chart on page 7 is only a general measuring guide. As there are

many different kinds of rice available (see About Rice on page 9), rice/water measurements may vary slightly.
