● Do not touch the steam vent until the pressure indicator pin has dropped. (So as not to cause burn)
※ Because of temperature, voltage or other reasons, “Exhausting” may still appear in the display when the pressure
indicator pin is dropped, which is not a malfunction.
● When cooking white rice or brown rice, after opening the outer lid, please stir and loosen the white rice immediately.
(In order to distribute excess water)
● Time required for the cooking is “The set time” + “13 ~ 100 minutes”. (
