USING YOUR RICE COOKER

COMOUSAR

ELAPARATO

Before First Use:

To Cook Rice:

Antesde

primeravez:

Paracocinar

arroz:

1. Using the measuring cup provided, measure out the desired amount of rice.

One full, level cup of uncooked rice will yield 2 cups of cooked rice. The

measuring cup provided adheres to rice industry standards (180mL) and is not

equal to one U.S. cup (240mL).

2. Rinse rice in a separate container until the water becomes relatively clear;

drain.

3. Place rinsed rice in the inner pot.

4. Using the measuring cup provided or the water measurement lines located

inside the inner pot, add the appropriate amount of water. If you are making

brown rice, follow the special instructions for brown rice located on page 8 of

this manual. The water measurement lines on the inner pot are intended for

white rice only.

5. For softer rice, allow rice to soak for 10-20 minutes prior to cooking.

6. Set the inner pot in the rice cooker. Ensure that the pot has direct contact with

the heating element by turning it slightly from right to left until it is positioned

properly. Close the lid and plug the power cord into a wall outlet. Check that

the lid is snapped shut, if it is not closed properly cooking efficiency may be

affected.

* To avoid loss of steam and longer cooking times, do not open the lid, unless

necessary, at any point during the cooking process.

7. Press the power switch. The “COOK” light will illuminate. When the rice is

finished, the unit will automatically switch to keep warm mode and the

“WARM” light will illuminate.

8. After cooking, allow rice to stand for 5-10 minutes without removing the lid. This

will ensure that the rice is cooked thoroughly.
