soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

· Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker
switches to
Warm
, additional water and cooking time
will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice
is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir thoroughly. Place
the lid on and press the cook switch down. When
the cooker switches to
Warm
mode, remove the lid
and stir the rice to check the consistency. Repeat as
necessary until rice is soft and moist.
· Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.
If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the cooker
switches to
Warm
, use the serving spatula to stir the
rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moist) part of
the rice as well as release excess moisture. Place the
lid on top and allow to remain on
Warm
mode for 10-
30 minutes as needed, removing the lid and stirring
periodically to release excess moisture.
Cooking Rice & Grain
1. Using the provided measuring cup, add rice or
grain to the inner pot.

the line that matches the number of cups of
uncooked rice added. For brown rice or grain,
see the "Rice/Grain & Water Measurement
Tables" on pages

4. Place the inner pot into the cooker then securely
place the lid on top.
5. Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC

included serving spatula to distribute any
remaining moisture.
