the amount of water that matches the number of measures of rice to be cooked.

For example, if preparing 4 measures of rice, add water to 4 cup water level

mark. Adding too much water may make the appliance boil over.

4. Add butter or oil and desired seasonings.

Note:

The first time you prepare rice use the handy RICe CookIng ChART included

in the Use and Care on pages 7 and 10. For softer, fluffy rice add a little more water;

for rice that is more firm and has a drier texture add a little less water.

outside surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Avoid having rice kernels

or other foods fall into the rice cooker.

6. Insert cooking bowl into rice cooker.
7. Place glass lid on the cooking bowl. For best results always keep glass lid on

while cooking.

Note:

As rice cooks, steam will escape through vent in lid. Place lid on rice cooker

so vent is facing away from cabinets and walls. do not place hands over steam vent

while rice is cooking or has finished cooking; the hot steam may burn.

comes on.

begins. As the rice cooks and expands, steam comes out through the steam vent

on the lid.

10. When rice is cooked, the Cook indicator light turns off and the switch pops up;

the rice cooker automatically switches to the Warm function. The WARM indicator

light will stay on until the appliance is unplugged.

try to press the on switch once the Warm cycle has begun.
11. For best results, let the cooked rice rest for 15 minutes, covered, to further steam

the rice. If holding cooked rice longer than 30 minutes, stir rice occasionally to

prevent browning of rice on the bottom of the cook bowl.
