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.

• 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 full, level cup of uncooked rice will yield 2 cups of cooked rice.

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

3.Place rinsed rice in the inner pot.

4.Using measuring cup provided or the water measurement lines located inside the inner pot, add the appropriate amount of water. If you are making brown rice, follow the special instructions for brown rice located below the rice/water measurement chart on page 7 of this 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. Place the lid over the top and plug the power cord into a wall outlet.

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

7.Press down on the power switch. The COOK light will illuminate. When the rice is finished, the unit will automatically switch to warm mode and the WARM light will illuminate.

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

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

*It is important that the outside surface of the inner pot is completely clean and dry before it is placed into the rice cooker. Water, food, or other substances on the pot will come into contact with the heating element and may cause damage to the product.
