RICE COOKING CHART

6.When plugged in, press the switch lever down. A red “COOK” light will glow indicating the rice cooker is on. See the cooking chart for approximate cooking times for different amounts of rice. Brown rice will take longer to cook than white rice, which is normal. As the rice cooks, steam will come out of the vent, therefore do not put the rice cooker directly under a cabinet to prevent possible damage. Some water may also spit from the cover onto the counter, which is normal.

7.When done, the rice cooker will automatically switch to the “WARM” setting and the yellow light will glow. The red “COOK” light will go out and the yellow “WARM” light will go on. Keep the lid closed for 15 minutes to ensure thorough cooking. Carefully remove the cover with oven mitts to prevent a steam burn. Stir the rice with a plastic or wooden spoon before serving. The rice will be kept warm between 140°F-176°F (60°C-80°C) for serving. The red “COOK” light will cycle on and off to maintain this temperature. Keep covered as much as possible to prevent the rice from drying out. If the rice is to be served immediately, unplug cord from outlet. When less than two cups of rice remain, turn the unit off by unplugging the cord from the outlet. Use oven mitts to remove the rice pot. Allow the rice cooker and all parts to cool before cleaning.
