Before First Use:
1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and make sure items are received in good
condition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Wash lid and accessories in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
5. Remove inner pot from rice cooker and clean with warm, soapy water. Rinse and
dry thoroughly before returning to cooker.
6. Wipe body clean with a damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

HOW TO USE
To avoid a loss of steam and a longer cooking time, do not open the lid at any
point during the cooking process.
NOTE:
These measurements are not equal to a standard US cup, which is equal to 240mL.
The standard rice cooker measuring cup size (180mL) is equal to roughly
¾
of
a standard US cup.
NOTE:
2. Rinse rice in a separate container until the water becomes relatively clear.
3. Place rinsed rice in the inner pot.
4. Using the measuring tumbler provided or the water measurement lines located
inside the inner pot, add the appropriate amount of water. For added
convenience, a “Rice/Water Measurement” chart is located on pages 5 and 6 of
this instruction manual.
5. For softer rice, allow rice to soak for 10-20 minutes.
6. Making sure that the exterior of the inner pot is clean, dry and free of debris, set the
inner pot in the rice cooker. Close the lid securely and plug the power cord into an
available outlet.
To Cook Rice:
1. Using the measuring tumbler provided, measure out the desired amount of rice.
One full, level tumbler of uncooked rice will roughly double in volume once
cooked. The measuring tumbler provided is larger than the typical rice cooker
measuring cup. The measuring tumbler included is 900mL, which is equal to 5
standard 180mL rice cooker cups.
