HOW TO USE YOUR RICE COOKER
Measuring your rice is of extreme importance. Please do not discard the "rice cooker" measuring cup that is provided with this unit. This "rice cooker" measuring cup is the standard unit of measurement for this product. When this manual instructs you to add 5 cups of rice and add the corresponding amount of water to the "5" marking on the INNER BOWL, the instructions are referring to the "rice cooker" measuring cup that is included, not a standard U.S. measuring cup.
1.Measure the amount of rice you would like to cook. A 3/4 cup (180 ml) measuring cup is included with your rice cooker. The "rice cooker" measuring cup makes approximately 2 1/4 cups of cooked rice.
NOTE: The rice cooker is capable of cooking up to 5 full "rice cooker" measuring cups of uncooked rice. Many varietiesof rice can be used, including basmati, wild rice, black rice, Arborio, risotto, saffron rice, short and long grain. Do not use instant rice with this rice cooker. Whole grains such as barley can also be prepared with the rice cooker.
2.Wash the measured rice in a separate bowl until water is clear.
3.Place rice in the INNER POT and add the correspondingamount of water. For example,if you are making 5 cups of uncookedrice, add water to the "5" mark on the inner bowl.
NOTE:Brown rice will take longer to cook than white rice.
4.Set 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.
