When cooking is completed, the rice
cooker will automatically switch to
the ‘WARM’ setting and the amber

When the rice finishes cooking and
switches to the ‘WARM’ setting, lift the

kept on the ‘WARM’ setting for up
to 5 hours, without losing its taste.
However, when cooking 1 cup of
rice, if left on the ‘WARM’ setting, the
rice will become dry.
