how to use your rice cooker

NOTE: Measuring your rice is of extreme importance. Please do not discard the measuring cup included with this unit. This is a “rice cooker” measuring cup, not a standard U.S. measuring cup. 1 rice cup is equal to 3/4 of a standard measuring cup. The rice cooker is capable of cooking up to 3 full “rice cooker” measuring cups of uncooked rice, or 6 cups of cooked rice. Do not use instant rice with this unit.

1Measure the amount of rice you would like to cook.

2Wash the measured rice in a separate bowl until water is clear.

3Place rice in the INNER POT and add the corresponding amount of water. For example, if you are making 3 cups of uncooked rice, add water to the “3” mark on the inner bowl.

NOTE: Brown rice will take longer to cook than white rice.

4Set the INNER POT into the rice cooker.

Make sure that the INNER POT is in direct contact with the heating plate by turning it slightly from left to right until it properly fits onto the heating plate.

NOTE: Make sure the outside of the inner pot is completely dry before placing onto the heating plate.

5Cover with the LID.

WARNING: Do not operate this appliance uncovered—steam is generated during use that could cause burns or other serious injury.

6Plug the cord into a 120-volt AC electrical outlet. Switch the rice cooker ON by pushing the button down. Make sure the COOK indicator light is illuminated. Steaming will begin shortly.

7The switch will pop up and the KEEP WARM indicator light will come on when all the water in the RICE COOKER has evaporated.

NOTE: You may need to add more water and set the rice cooker to COOK more than once depending on your own personal tastes.

8After cooking, the KEEP WARM indicator light will illuminate. It is important to let the rice stand for 10-15 minutes of steaming without removing the LID. Carefully open the LID, taking care to avoid escaping steam. Use the RICE LADLE, or other long handled utensil, to mix the rice well to allow steam to escape. CAUTION: Steam will escape. Do not touch the INNER POT or heating unit until they have cooled.

9Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.

10Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet when not in use.

cooking HINTS

•Rinse rice—Bran gives an unpleasant smell to cooked rice. Be sure to rinse rice thoroughly. Rinsing with water effectively removes bran quickly and thoroughly.

NOTE: Some rice suppliers suggest not rinsing rice because vitamins may be lost.

•After use, wash the INNER POT and LID in warm, soapy water.

•Rinse thoroughly and dry.

•Do not keep the rice cooker in operation:

-When there is only a small amount of rice left in the POT.

-When rice ladle is inside the rice cooker.

-To warm up cold rice.

* DO NOT let water in the INNER POT boil dry.

Care and Cleaning

This appliance should be cleaned after every use.

1Unplug the rice cooker when not in use and before cleaning. Never immerse HEATING UNIT, cord or plug in water or any other liquids. Allow the RICE COOKER to cool completely before cleaning.

NOTE: Use the RICE LADLE or wooden utensil to stir and remove food from the INNER POT. DO NOT use any metal utensils.

2To clean the HEATING UNIT, lightly wipe the exterior with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

3The INNER POT is coated with a non-stick coating to make clean up easier. To clean, remove the INNER POT from the rice cooker and fill with hot water from the tap. Let it sit for a while and then wash with hot soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

4The inner pot, lid, rice ladle and measuring cup are dishwasher safe.

5Make sure that the grains of rice do not stick to the heating plate in the bottom of the heating unit. If this occurs, remove immediately. If grains of rice are stuck onto the heating plate, a non-abrasive pad can be used to remove it. Polish the area for good contact between

the heating plate, and the bottom of the INNER POT.
