COOKING HINTS
•Washing rice – Bran gives an unpleasant smell to the cooked rice. Be sure to wash rice thoroughly. Washing with water effectively removes bran quickly and thoroughly. NOTE: Some rice suppliers suggest not washing rice because vitamins may be lost.
•After use, wash the INNER POT and LID in warm, soapy water.
•Rinse thoroughly and dry.
•Avoid keeping the RICE COOKER in operation:
-When there is only a small amount of rice left in the INNER POT
-When RICE PADDLE and/or MEASURING CUP is inside the RICE COOKER
-To warm up cold rice
