HOW TO COOK RICE

SPECIAL NOTE: The rice-measuring cup included with the rice cooker is based on 5½ ounces (160ml) rather than a standard 8 ounce (240ml) measuring cup. Dependent on the model of rice cooker you have, your rice cooker can cook either

10 or 12 measures of rice. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the rice cooker as this can result in a boil over. Typically, each measure of raw rice will yield about 2 cups of cooked rice. A ¼ teaspoon of added salt will help reduce spitting that may occur.

**If you are only cooking rice, remove the steam basket during cooking.

1.Place the heating base on dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from any edge.

2.Before placing the rice cooking pot into the heating base, make sure the heating plate in the base and outside of the rice pot are clean and dry. Do not let loose rice or particles fall into the base as this will affect the cooking.

3.Using the rice-measuring cup, add the desired number of cups of rice to the rice pot first. Add cold water to the corresponding cup level mark on the rice pot. For instance, if 4 measures of rice are added, fill the rice pot with water to the 4- cup mark. This is the amount of water needed to cook this amount of rice. Do not exceed the maximum marking on the rice pot to prevent boil over.

4.Twist the rice pot back and forth to make sure it is in contact with the heating plate. Place the cover on the pot.

5.Attach the cord to the heating base and plug into a 120-volt AC electric outlet only.
