• Measure rice with the measuring cup*. The unit will cook a minimum of 2-3 full measuring cups*
of dry rice. uncooked rice volume doubles after cooking.
• Determine the quantity of rice to be cooked. The amount of rice should be enough to completely cover
the bottom of the pot. the maximum is 10 full measuring cups*. Place the rice in the pot and wash
4 or 5 times with fresh water. When water is almost clear and drain rice.
• Cover the rice with 1” of water. An alternate method is to gently place one
’
s hand on the rice.
Add enough water to reach the center of the knuckles where the fingers join the hand.
• Cover rice pot with stainless steel cover*. Check to be sure that the pot is properly positioned on
the cooker and that the water level is of uniform depth covering the rice. For tender rice, let it soak
in pot for about 10 minutes before igniting main burner.

RICE COOkING TIPS
• When cooking a half pot of rice, turn gas valve to the full
ON
position, taking note of flame on burner.
turn gas valve slightly towards
OFF
position until flame is reduced by half.
• Length of cooking time will vary according to type of gas used, gas pressure to burner, and quantity of
rice being cooked.
• When main burner automatically shuts off, the rice should be broken up or turned using a utensil that
will not damage the pot. cover the rice and wait 10 to15 minutes allowing the rice to cure before
serving. Rice will remain hot (about 160˚F/71˚c) for 2 hours.
• The rice pot is designed for use in the RM-55N-R, RM55P-R, RM-50N-R and RM-50-P-R only. Do not put
the pot on any other heat source— it will damage the thermostatic element and will not operate properly.
• Keep the Piezo electric ignition clean and dry by wiping with a dry cloth. Do not press the ignition while
touching electrode—electric shock will result. If lighter fails to spark, check that it is clean, dry, and that
the black neoprene line from the ignition assembly is connected. call your dealer or gas service for
assistance if the unit continues to malfunction.
• Cooker base connected to gas supply may be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap or detergent.
Never immerse the unit into water. Be careful to not strain gas connection as this will damage the
manifold and could be very dangerous, resulting in a gas leak.
• Rice pot, cover, and enamel body may be removed for cleaning. These parts should be cleaned
and carefully reassembled to prevent damage to the unprotected cooking sensor. Do not force these
parts to fit—they assemble easily if properly positioned. Refer to the illustrations on page 9 of the
ASSeMBLY AND COOKiNg
section.
• After unit is cleaned and assembled, leave all gas valves in
OFF
position, rice pot centered and resting
evenly on enamel outer body of unit.
