PREPARING YOUR RICE COOKER FOR USE
Clean the LID, INNER POT, RICE PADDLE and MEASURING CUP, following the cleaning instructions on page 10.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE HEATING UNIT OF YOUR RICE COOKER IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
HOW TO USE YOUR RICE COOKER
1.Measure the amount of rice you would like to cook. A 2⁄3 cup (160 ml) MEASURING CUP is included with your RICE COOKER. Filling the MEASURING CUP with uncooked rice will make about 2 cups of cooked rice. NOTE: The RICE COOKER is capable of cooking up to
10 MEASURING CUPS of uncooked rice. Many varieties of 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. Follow package directions.
2.Wash the measured rice in a separate bowl, if desired.
3.Put rice in the INNER POT and add water. Approximately 11⁄2 plastic measuring cups of water per 1 plastic measuring cup of rice. For every additional cup of uncooked rice increase water by 1 cup. For example, to cook 4 cups of uncooked rice, add 41⁄2 MEASURING CUPS of water. Adjust the amount of water to your personal taste.
4.Brown rice will take longer to cook. We suggest adding an additional 3⁄4 cup of water.
5.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. NOTE: If the outside of the INNER POT is wet when placed in the RICE COOKER, this may cause a crackling noise until the unit heats up. Also, this may damage the inner working of the appliance, so always wipe the outside of the pot completely before use.
6.Cover with the LID. WARNING: Do not operate this appliance uncovered – steam is generated during use.
7.Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet. Switch the RICE COOKER ON by pushing the button down. Make sure the COOK LIGHT is on. Steaming will begin shortly.
8.The switch will pop up and the KEEP WARM LIGHT will come on when cooking is complete. NOTE: The length of steaming time is subject to your own personal taste.
9.After cooking it is important to let the rice stand for
