• The WARM indicator light will illuminate once the power is turned on. Press the cooking
selector lever down and the COOK light will illuminate. The cooking process begins as soon
as the light illuminates. The cooking time will depend on the type and amount of rice being
cooked (refer to the rice cooking chart on page 4 for a guide).
NOTE: Never try to force the cooking selector lever to stay in COOK mode after it has moved
up to the On/WARM position.
• When cooking is complete, the rice cooker will automatically switch to the On/WARM
position. At this time the On/WARM light will illuminate.
• Allow the rice to stand in On/WARM mode for 15 minutes with the lid on.
NOTE: Allowing the cooked rice to sit for 15 minutes before stirring or removing enables the
steam to finish the cooking process and results in a fluffier rice texture.
CAUTION: When hot, this appliance contains hot water and steam. Open the lid carefully to
avoid scalding. Press the lick lock button, and allow water to drip into the rice cooker.
• Using the rice paddle provided (or any other non-metallic long handled utensil), scoop and
mix well. Allow all steam to escape.
• The rice cooker will remain in On/WARM mode until the power is switched off at the outlet.
If On/WARM mode is not desired, switch off and disconnect from the wall power outlet.
• Using oven mitts or a tea towel, carefully remove the inner pot from the rice cooker.
CAUTION: Allow the heating body and inner pot to cool completely before cleaning.

*It is recommended you use 1.5 cups of water per cup of raw rice (using rice measuring cup
provided).
USING THE STEAMER BASKET
Use the steamer basket to steam vegetables (fresh or defrosted). It can also be used to steam
items such as dumplings, gyoza, etc.
NOTE: You may cook rice and steam food simultaneously. Note that juices and flavourings
from food in steamer basket will run into the rice.
• Clean and prepare your vegetables. Cut vegetables into bite sized pieces. If cooking a
combination of different vegetables, try to ensure all require the same cooking time and cut
the pieces uniformly.
CAUTION: Always ensure the outer surface of the inner pot is clean and dry before placing
it into the heating body of the rice cooker.
• Place the inner pot into the heating body. Rotate the inner pot slightly to ensure it is well
seated on the heating plate.
