• Rinse rice – Bran gives an unpleasant smell to cooked rice. Be sure to
rinse rice thoroughly. Rinsing with water effectively removes bran
quickly and thoroughly.
NOTE:
Some rice suppliers suggest not
rinsing rice because vitamins may be lost.
• After every use, wash the INNER POT and LID in warm, soapy water.
Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• DO NOT keep the Rice Cooker in operation:
When there is only a small amount of rice left in the INNER POT.
When RICE LADLE is inside the Rice Cooker.
To warm up cold rice.
* DO NOT let rice in the INNER POT boil dry.
6. Plug the cord into a 120-volt AC electrical outlet. Switch the Rice Cooker
to "COOK" Mode by pushing the POWER SWITCH down. Make sure
the COOK INDICATOR LIGHT is illuminated. Steaming will begin shortly.
7. The POWER SWITCH will pop up and the KEEP WARM INDICATOR
LIGHT will come on when all the water in the Rice Cooker has
evaporated. When the KEEP WARM INDICATOR LIGHT is illuminated,
the Rice Cooker is in the "KEEP WARM" Mode.
NOTE:
You may need to add more water and set the Rice Cooker to
"COOK" more than once depending on your own personal tastes.
8. It is important to let the rice stand for 10-15 minutes of steaming
without removing the LID. Carefully open the LID, taking care to
avoid escaping steam. Use the RICE LADLE, or other long handled
utensil, to mix the rice well to allow steam to escape.
CAUTION:
Steam will escape. Do not touch the INNER POT or HEATING PLATE
in the HEATING BASE until they have cooled.
9. Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
10. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet when not in use.
