WARNING

 Electrical Shock Hazard: 

This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one 

wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The 

plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not 

defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying 

the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the 

plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. 

If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the 

outlet.

A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the 

risk resulting from it being grabbed by children, 

becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer 

cord.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not 

use another high-wattage appliance on the same 

circuit with this appliance.

How to Use the Multi-Cooker

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash cooking pot following “Care and Cleaning” instructions; dry thoroughly. 

Assemble lid with flat side of silicone washer facing down toward cooking pot.

Cooking rice

Rice Measuring Cup – Do not throw away the rice measuring cup that comes with your unit. This is an 

important tool in using your Multi-Cooker successfully as a rice cooker and its size is standard in the 

rice industry. One rice measuring cup equals 6 oz. (177 mL) or approximately 3/4 cup (U.S. standard 

measuring cup).
Steamer/Rinsing Basket – To use as a rice rinsing basket, add the desired amount of measured 

uncooked rice to steamer basket. Do not fill above side vents to prevent rice from falling through while 

rinsing. Place basket under a slow-flowing faucet and rinse. Add drained rice to cooking pot. Repeat 

rinsing with any remaining rice.

Program functions

Five functions have preprogrammed cycles with a default cooking time that cannot be adjusted. Actual 

cooking time depends on the amounts of ingredients and water. If the actual cooking time is less than the 

default time, the display time will jump to a time designated by the program and start counting down until 

finished cooking. If actual cooking time is longer than the default, the program holds for a time and then 

counts down until finished cooking. The Multi-Cooker automatically switches to WARM when done cooking 

and will keep warm up to 12 hours.

The Delay Time function can be used with WHITE RICE, BROWN RICE, SUSHI RICE, WHOLE GRAIN, 

QUICK RICE, HOT CEREALS, QUINOA, STEAM/COOK, and SOUP/SIMMER. Place water and food items in 

cooking pot or food in steamer basket. Select function and cooking time.
Press DELAY TIME. The function button and the DELAY TIME buttons will flash, and display will flash “0.” 

Continue to press DELAY TIME to set delay time from 1 to 15 hours. Multi-Cooker will automatically start 

after 5 seconds, counting down the delay time. Cooking/steaming will begin once the unit has completed 

the delay time countdown. After cooking is complete, the Multi-Cooker will switch to WARM (except for 

STEAM/COOK).

status and continue the previous function automatically. If the power break was longer than 5 seconds, 

the unit will switch to standby mode.
