COOKING RICE

1.Measure desired amount of rice to be cooked using rice measure provided; do not use 1-cup measuring cup. (The rice measure provided holds 2/3-cup uncooked rice ‒ about 5 oz. or 150 grams.) This rice cooker can cook up to 11⁄2 measures of rice and yield a maximum of about 3 cups of cooked rice.

2.Place rice in the cooking bowl.

Important: Use only the cooking bowl provided with this appliance to cook rice.

3.Using the water level markings on the inside of the cooking bowl as a guide, add amount of water that matches the amount of rice to be cooked. For example,

if preparing 1 measure of rice, add water to the 1-cup water level mark. Adding too much water may cause the appliance to boil over.

4.Add butter, oil and desired seasonings.

Note: The first time you prepare rice, use the handy RICE COOKING CHART on page 6. For softer, fluffy rice, add a little more water; for rice that is more firm and has a firmer texture, add a little less water.

5.Before placing cooking bowl into rice cooker, be sure the heating plate and outside surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Avoid having rice kernels or other ingredients fall into the rice cooker.

6.Insert cooking bowl into rice cooker.

7.Place glass lid on the cooking bowl. For best results always keep glass lid on while cooking.

Important: As rice cooks, steam will escape through vent in lid. Place glass lid on rice cooker so steam vent is facing away from cabinets and walls. Do not place hand over steam vent while rice is cooking; the hot steam may burn.

8.Uncoil cord and plug into standard electrical outlet. The KEEP WARM indicator light comes on.

9.Press down the ON switch. The COOK indicator light comes on and cooking begins.

10.When rice is cooked, the COOK indicator light shuts off, the switch pops up and

the rice cooker automatically switches to the KEEP WARM function. The KEEP WARM indicator light will stay on until the appliance is unplugged.

Note: Do not try to stop the rice cooker from switching to the KEEP WARM mode. Do not try to press the ON switch once the KEEP WARM cycle has begun.

11.For best results, let the cooked rice rest for 15 minutes, covered, to further steam the rice. If holding cooked rice longer than 30 minutes, stir rice occasionally to prevent browning of rice on the bottom of the cook bowl.

12.Just before serving, remove lid and fluff rice. Use serving scoop provided with appliance to prevent damage to nonstick surface of the cooking bowl.

Caution: When removing the lid, always lift it away from the body to prevent getting burned from the hot steam.
