USING YOUR RICE COOKER

To Steam Food And Cook Rice Simultaneously:

One of the most convenient features of this rice cooker is the ability to both cook

rice and steam food simultaneously, ideal for creating delicious all-in-one meals.
1. Place the desired amount of rice and appropriate amount of water into the

inner pot. See “To Cook Rice” on page 4 for details. Do not attempt to

cook more than 6 cups (uncooked) of white rice (4 cups if using brown rice)

while using the steam tray simultaneously. The steam tray will not fit.

2. Place the inner pot into the unit and begin to cook the rice.

3. Refer to the steaming guides for vegetables (page 10) or meat (page 11) for

hints and approximate steaming times. It is best to insert the food to be

steamed toward the end of the rice cooking cycle so that your meal is fresh

and warm all at once.

4. Place your choice of vegetables or meat into the steam tray. Open the lid,

using caution as steam escaping will be extremely hot, and place the steam

tray into the inner pot.

5. Close the lid and allow the cooker to resume cooking.

Check that the lid is

snapped shut, if it is not closed properly cooking efficiency may be affected.

6. Once food has been steamed for the appropriate amount of time, open the

lid. Use caution when opening lid as steam escaping will be extremely hot.

Remove the steam tray and check food to be sure it has been thoroughly

cooked. Exercise caution when removing the steam tray, as it will be hot.

7. Close the lid of the rice cooker and allow rice to continue to cook until done.

Once rice has finished cooking it will automatically switch to keep warm

mode.

8. The rice cooker will remain on keep warm mode until it is unplugged. Be sure

to unplug the cord from the wall outlet when not in use.

NOTE:

It is possible to steam at any point during the rice cooking cycle.

However, it is recommended that you steam during the end of the cycle

to prevent the steamed food from becoming cold or soggy before the

rice is ready.
