READ BEFORE USING THE RICE COOKER FOR THE FIRST TIME
4
Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, be sure the heating plate and
outside surface of the inner pot are clean and dry. Do not allow loose rice
or food particles to fall into the cooker. The inner pot must fit snuggly onto
the heating plate to ensure proper contact for cooking. Place desired
amount of rice into the inner pot, add cold water up to the exact level
indicated inside of the inner pot. Add oil, butter or margarine to prevent rice
from sticking. For example:For"4"measuring cups of uncooked rice,fill
water to the "4"level mark. By adding too much water you may cause the
unit to boil over.
Taste/hardness will vary depending on the quality/type of rice and length of
time it is cooked. For a softer, fluffier rice add a little more water; for
firmer,crunchier rice add a little less water.You may need to experiment to
suit your taste.Note that brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice
and requires more water.
Place the lid on the rice cooker. Plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
The WARM indicator light will come on. Push the "ON"switch down and
the COOK indicator light will come on. As the rice expands and cooks,
steam will come out of the vent in the lid. Do not place the cooker directly
under your cabinets. Slight spattering is normal.
When cooking is done, the cooker will automatically switch to WARM(the
warm indicator light will come on)and will continue until the unit is
unplugged. Rice can be kept warm for several hours. For best results, let
the cooked rice sit for 15 minutes before stirring or removing. This allows
the steam to finish the cooking process.
Fluff rice with a plastic or wood utensil and mix in ingredients such as
minced vegetables, if desired.
When done, unplug the unit. Always clean the cooker thoroughly as soon
as possible after each use.
NOTE: Cooking will begin only when the "ON"switch is pushed down and
the inner pot is in position in the unit.
Read all instructions.
Wash inner pot, cover, measuring cup and spatula in warm, soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Never immerse outer pot in water.
Never place liquid in the outer pot; place it only in the inner pot.
Never try to force cook lever to stay in the "COOK" position after it has
shifted automatically to the "WARM" position.
Always place inner pot inside outer pot before plugging in the rice cooker.
When plugging in the cooker, always be sure inner pot contains liquid, or be
ready to add oil, butter or margarine immediately to the inner pot.
Save these instructions and refer to them often.
NOTE: Always wipe down the outer surface of the inner pot before placing it
inside the cooker. Any moisture remaining on inner pot surface may cause a
crackling noise while the unit is heating up. Except for actual cooking area,
keep all surfaces dry to prevent damage to the inner workings of the
appliance while it is in operation.
