1. Measure the amount of rice you would like to cook. A
2
⁄
3
cup (160 ml)
MEASURING CUP is included with your RICE COOKER. Filling the
MEASURING CUP with uncooked rice will make about 2 cups of
cooked rice. NOTE: The RICE COOKER is capable of cooking up to
10 MEASURING CUPS of uncooked rice. Many varieties of rice can be
used, including basmati, wild rice, black rice, Arborio, risotto, saffron
rice, short and long grain. Do not use instant rice with this RICE
COOKER. Whole grains such as barley can also be prepared with the
RICE COOKER. Follow package directions.
2. Wash the measured rice in a separate bowl, if desired.
3. Put rice in the INNER POT and add water. Approximately 1
1
⁄
2
plastic
measuring cups of water per 1 plastic measuring cup of rice. For
every additional cup of uncooked rice increase water by 1 cup. For
example, to cook 4 cups of uncooked rice, add 4
1
⁄
2
MEASURING
CUPS of water. Adjust the amount of water to your personal taste.
4. Brown rice will take longer to cook. We suggest adding an additional
3
⁄
4
cup of water.
5. Set the INNER POT into the rice cooker. Make sure that the INNER
POT is in direct contact with the HEATING PLATE by turning it slightly
from left to right until it properly fits onto the HEATING PLATE.
NOTE: If the outside of the INNER POT is wet when placed in the
RICE COOKER, this may cause a crackling noise until the unit heats
up. Also, this may damage the inner working of the appliance, so
always wipe the outside of the pot completely before use.
6. Cover with the LID. WARNING: Do not operate this appliance
uncovered – steam is generated during use.
7. Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet. Switch the RICE
COOKER ON by pushing the button down. Make sure the COOK
LIGHT is on. Steaming will begin shortly.
8. The switch will pop up and the KEEP WARM LIGHT will come on
when cooking is complete. NOTE: The length of steaming time is
subject to your own personal taste.
9. After cooking it is important to let the rice stand for 5-10 minutes
