Before First Use
1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and make sure items are received in
good condition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags, as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Wash accessories in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
5. Remove inner pot from rice cooker and clean with warm soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly before returning to cooker.
6. Wipe body clean with a damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Do not immerse the rice cooker base, cord or plug in water at any time.
1. Using the measuring cup provided, measure out the desired amount of
rice. One cup refers to one full, level cup.
2. Rinse rice in a mesh strainer or other separate container (do not rinse rice
in the inner pot) until the water becomes relatively clear. Place rinsed rice
into the inner pot.
3. Using the measuring cup provided or the measurement lines inside the
inner pot, add the appropriate amount of water to the inner pot. A
helpful rice/water measurement guide is included on page 7 of this
manual for reference. For brown rice, add an additional 1/4 cup of
water for each cup of rice to be cooked. Smooth over the top of the rice
with the rice paddle so that rice surface is level to ensure even cooking.
TIP
: For softer rice, allow the rice to soak for 10-20 minutes prior to
beginning the cooking cycle.
4. Place the inner pot in the rice cooker. Close the lid, making sure that it
locks into place, and plug power cord into a wall outlet.
5. To begin cooking, press the "White Rice" or "Brown Rice" button depending
on the type of rice to be cooked. The cooking mode indicator light will
illuminate. Once cooking is complete, the rice cooker will automatically
switch to keep warm mode. (See note below about Brown Rice.)
TIP:
If you wish to cancel your selection at any time, press the “OFF”
button and reset by pressing the appropriate cooking button.
6. After cooking, open the lid and use the rice paddle to stir the rice. This
will release excess moisture and give the rice a fluffier texture. Then,
close the lid and allow the unit to remain on warm mode for 5-10 minutes.
This will ensure optimal rice texture and moisture level.
7. Press the "OFF" button to turn off the rice cooker. If the “OFF” button is
not pressed, the rice cooker will remain in “keep warm” mode. It is not
recommended to leave rice on “keep warm” mode for more than 12 hours.
Cooking With Rice
NOTE:
Brown rice requires a much longer cooking cycle than other rice
varieties due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The Brown Rice
function on this rice cooker allows extra time and adjusted heat
settings in order to cook the rice properly.
