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 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.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

•ToDoCooknot immerseRice:the rice cooker base, cord or plug in water at any time.

1. Using the measuring tumbler provided, measure out the desired amount of rice. One full, level tumbler of uncooked rice will roughly double in volume once cooked. The measuring tumbler provided is larger than the typical rice cooker measuring cup. The measuring tumbler included is 900mL, which is equal to 5 standard 180mL rice cooker cups.

NOTE:

These measurements are not equal to a standard US cup, which is equal to 240mL. The standard rice cooker measuring cup size (180mL) is equal to roughly ¾ of

a standard US cup.

2. Rinse rice in a separate container until the water becomes relatively clear.

3. Place rinsed rice in the inner pot.

4. Using the measuring tumbler provided or the water measurement lines located inside the inner pot, add the appropriate amount of water. For added convenience, a “Rice/Water Measurement” chart is located on pages 5 and 6 of this instruction manual.

5. For softer rice, allow rice to soak for 10-20 minutes.

6. Making sure that the exterior of the inner pot is clean, dry and free of debris, set the inner pot in the rice cooker. Close the lid securely and plug the power cord into an available outlet.

NOTE:

To avoid a loss of steam and a longer cooking time, do not open the lid at any point during the cooking process.

7. Press down on the cook switch. The “Cook” light will illuminate. When the rice is finished, the unit will automatically switch to “Keep-Warm” mode and the “Warm” light will illuminate.

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

9. The rice cooker will remain in “Keep-Warm” mode until it is unplugged. Be sure to unplug the cord from the wall outlet when not in use.
