HELPFUL HINTS
• Although the rice measure holds about 5 ounces of uncooked rice; the cooked rice is
given in 8-ounce cup measures.
• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using Kosher salt,
you may find you want to add a little more than if using table salt. Use about ¾ tsp.
Kosher salt to each cup of uncooked rice.
• White rice should be kept in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
• Brown rice has a limited shelf life; store it for no more than a month before using.
• For additional flavor, try using broth, stock or reconstituted bouillon in place of water.
If you do, no additional salt may be necessary.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Some kernels of rice do not
seem fully cooked The rice was not allowed to
finish cooking. Once switch on rice cooker
changes to WARM allow
rice to rest for 15 minutes
before serving.
Rice cooking bowl not as
clean as I would like. Starch builds up on sides
and bottom of bowl. Fill bowl with hot soapy
water and let stand several
minutes; then use a nylon
scrubber along sides and
bottom. Rinse.
Rice boils over. Too much rice is being
cooked. Make sure to cook no more
than the maximum amount
suggested in the Use &
Care. The amount of rice to
be cooked should match the
marking on the bowl.
