	of brown rice that may be cooked at one time is 2 cups.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

• Brown rice takes longer to cook and requires more water than white rice due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The water lines in the inner pot are meant for white rice only. Please see the chart above for brown rice cooking ratios.

• Brown rice, wild rice and rice mixes vary in their make-up. Some variations may require longer cooking times and/or additional water in order to achieve optimum results. Refer to the individual package instructions for cooking suggestions.

• The measuring cup included adheres to rice industry standards (180mL) 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 3 cups of uncooked rice (2 cups if brown rice) into this appliance at one time. The maximum capacity of this unit is 3 cups raw rice (2 cups if brown rice) which yields 6 cups of cooked rice (4 cups brown 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. This is only a general measuring guide. As there are many different kinds of rice available (see About Rice on page 10), rice/water measurements may vary slightly.
