USING YOUR RICE COOKER
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 providedadheres to
rice industry standards(180mL) and is not equal to one U.S. cup.
2. Rinse rice in a mesh straineror other separate container (do not rinse rice in
the inner pot) untilthe water becomes relatively clear. Drain; then place
rinsed rice into theinner 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 7. Smooth over the top
of the rice with the rice paddle so that rice surface is level to ensure even
cooking.
TIP: For softer rice, allow the rice to soak for 10-20 minutes prior to beginning the
cooking cycle.
4. Place the inner pot in the rice cooker. Close the lid, makingsure that it locks
into place, and plug powercord into the rice cooker and a working wall
outlet. The ‘START/REHEAT’light will flash.
5. Press the “MENU” buttonuntil the arrow is pointing to ‘Regular’, which is the
rice cooking function.
Short on time?
The Quick Cook function will forego the soaking cycle, saving a significant
amount of time. However, we only recommend doing this if time is of the
essence. The rice produced by quick cooking will not be as good as if the
full, proper rice cycle was used.
6. Press ‘START/REHEAT’button. The indicator light will illuminate.
