To Cook Rice:

For your convenience, the inner cooking pot features water measurement lines inside. 

We have also provided a handy cup that is designed to measure rice and water.

1. Measure the desired amount of rice using the supplied measuring cup.  One cup of

raw rice will produce approximately two cups of cooked rice.

2. Rinse the rice with warm water to remove excess bran and starch that may cause

sticking.

3. Put rice into the inner cooking pot, making sure it is spread evenly in the cooker. 

4. Add correct amount of water either by using a measuring cup or by adding water to

the appropriate line in the pot.  Never add water higher than the top water line.

5.   Place inner cooking pot into the cooker.  Make sure that the pot has direct contact

with the heating plate by turning it slightly from right to left until the pot is properly

positioned.

6. Close the lid and press down until the latch snaps securely shut.  

7. Plug cord into wall outlet.  Do not plug cord in until ready to cook.  Any time this

cooker is plugged in and the switch is not immediately set for cooking, the warming

circuit is operating.

8. Press down the switch.  The cook light will illuminate indicating the cooking process

has begun.

9. When the cooking process is complete, the switch will pop up, making a clicking

noise.  At the same time, the cook light will turn off and the warm light will Illuminate.

10. When cooker switches to “Keep Warm” mode, keep the lid closed for about 10-15

minutes in order to complete the rice cooking process.

11. Open the lid by pushing the lid release button.

12. Cooker will remain in “Keep Warm” mode until the plug is removed from the outlet.

13. Keep leftover rice in refrigerator.  To reheat, put rice and 1/2 cup of water into inner

pot, place pot into the cooker, and press the switch.
