“RAPID” is a cooking method that gives priority to time, so the surface of the rice is a little watery and the rice is a

little hard.

●

lights up during cooking. turns off when Keep Warm starts.

●

When only cooking a small amount of rice, select the “1-2person” program. This prevents the rice from being mushy

or burnt and cooks the rice to nice and soft texture.

●

When using a store-bought flavoring for mixed rice, place the other ingredients on the top of the rice without stirring them in.

●

If you are cooking a thin porridge, do not add water more than the water level line for “PORRIDGE”, but reduce the

amount of rice.

●

The amount of steam emitted differs depending on the cooking method.
*The cooking time guide is for a voltage of 220VAC, room temperature of 20°C, and a water temperature of 18°C.
*The cooking time will differ depending on the voltage, room temperature, water level, type of rice, etc.

●

The time until cooking is completed is calculated by the rice cooking function, taking into account the previous
cooking times, water temperature, etc.

●

If the rice cooker is warm, the time until cooking is completed might not be displayed.

●

The time until cooking is completed might move up or stop during cooking. This is due to adjustments being made
to make the rice taste better.

●

For “MIX” and “PORRIDGE”, this shows the current time because the remaining cooking time changes substantially
depending on the amounts of ingredients and rice.
The remaining cooking time will be displayed a couple of minutes before the cooking is completed.

●

It is difficult for the steam to escape when the rice cooker is pressurized, so
there might be condensation on the lid when opened, but it is not a
malfunction. If you are concerned about the condensation

●

When the rice is finished cooking, the center of it might be a little depressed
or the rice next to the inner pot wall might be soft. This is caused by the
heat generation from the inner pot itself due to the IH heating and this is
done to ensure the rice is cooked well.

●

If the rice is not stirred after cooking, the extra steam could be absorbed
making the rice sticky and causing it to stick together.
