Tips for best results
• Always leave lid latched during
cooking. Opening the lid allows
steam to escape and interferes with
the cooking cycle.
• Leave rice cooker closed an
additional 5-10 minutes after cooking
is completed to allow rice to settle.
Stir rice thoroughly before serving.
• For softer rice, allow rice and water
to soak in inner pot 15-20 minutes
before starting the cooking cycle.
• Measure rice and water carefully,
always using the measuring cup
provided. Start with 2 cups rice and
enough water to fill inner pot to
2-cup mark. After first use, adjust to
your own taste: add slightly more
water for stickier rice; slightly less
water for fluffier rice. The ‘texture’
feature also allows you to adjust the
texture for soft, medium or firm rice.
• For best quality, use rice within 2
hours of cooking. If rice is leftover,
store in refrigerator and use reheat
function when ready to serve
remaining rice.
Oatmeal
• Measure dry oatmeal with the measuring cup provided: Use
1 cup dry oatmeal and add water to the 2 cup level.
• Default cooking time is 1 hour. Time can be adjusted from 1
hour to 4 hours. See ‘To adjust cooking time’ on page 9.
