To Cook Rice in PRE-SET Cooking Mode

PRE-SET mode enables you to place rice and water in the cooker and program it to start cooking at a later time. However, when using this feature, make sure that you have taken some preliminary steps, and that both rice and water are ready in the pot of the cooker before it automatically starts cooking.

For example, if you want to start cooking rice 4 hours later,

1.Press Menu Select button to select rice cooking.

2.Press Delay Start button with the triangular indicator switch to Delay Start.

3.Press the Hour and Minute buttons to set time.

4.Press Start button. The time you just set will be counted down.

Note: if ever power is switched off during cooking as in the case of a power blackout, the cooker needs to be reprogrammed to perform its cooking functions.

Keep Warm

As soon as the keep warm light is on, the system enters into keep warm mode.

Before rice is kept in this state, use a spatula to soften the rice layers and close the lid tight so as to prevent the rice from getting dried up or lumpy.

The keep warm mode shall not last for more than twelve hours. Do not keep easily perishables such as overnight leftovers of rice and other dishes in this state for too long.

Porridge is generally not kept in this state for it is likely to turn into a kind of rice paste. To stop the keep warm mode, switch off power.
