TO COOK RICE
HELPFUL HINTS:
• If you misplace the measuring cup, a ¾ standard US cup is an exact replacement.
•To add more flavor to rice, try substituting a favorite meat or vegetable broth or stock. The ratio of broth/
stock to rice will be the same as water to rice.
• For approximate rice cooking times and suggested rice/water ratios, see the “Rice/Water Measurement
Tables” below.
NOTE:
• Before placing the cooking pot into the rice cooker, check that the
cooking pot is dry and free of debris. Adding the cooking pot when
wet may damage the rice cooker.

HELPFUL HINTS:

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other); follow the instructions below:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Polarized Plug

NOTE:
• Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will affect cooking times.
• These steaming charts are for reference only. Actual cooking times may vary.
HELPFUL HINTS:
• Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no need to increase the amount of water
with a larger serving of vegetables.
• Steaming times may vary depending upon the cut of meat being used.
• To ensure meat tastes its best, and to prevent possible illness, check that meat is completely cooked prior to
serving. If it is not, simply place more water in the inner cooking pot and repeat the cooking process until the
meat is adequately cooked.
