RICE COOKER
Your Multi-Use Rice Cooker includes a convenient and useful Sauté Function, which
allows you to sauté/brown onions, garlic and/or other ingredients in oil prior to cooking.
You can choose to cook rice or other meals directly without the need to sauté, but this added feature
gives you greater versatility in the preparation of your favorite recipes.
SAUTÉ FUNCTION
This function was designed to give you control when sautéing/browning and needs to be controlled
manually as follows:
1. Remove lid and place food inside pot.
2. Connect power cord to an electrical outlet and press the Sauté On/Off Button “ ”
once to active function.
3. The Multi-Use Rice Cooker will heat up the Inner Pot and sauté the food inside.
4. This function requires close supervision and needs to be controlled manually. When
browning is done, turn off this function by pressing the Sauté On/Off Button “ ” once.
IMPORTANT: Before cooking rice, you must manually turn off the Sauté function.
NOTE: Do not use a metal spoon to stir the food inside the inner pot since that might damage the
non-stick coating, which could affect the unit performance in the long term.
AUTOMATIC COOK FUNCTION
If you would like to sauté/brown prior to cooking rice or other ingredients, please refer to the Sauté
Function section. Once you are done browning your ingredients, follow the instructions below.
You may also use the Automatic Cook Function without browning any ingredients by simply following
these instructions.
1. Make sure appliance is unplugged.
2. Measure raw rice for desired amount with the Measuring Cup (5.41 oz/160 mL) provided.
3. One cup of the uncooked rice will make about two cups of cooked rice. Maximum of 7
cups (41 oz/1.2 L) uncooked rice for model CKCPRC6038-060. Maximum of 10 cups (61 oz/1.8 L)
uncooked rice for model CKCPRC6039-060. Maximum of 12 cups (74 oz/2.2 L) uncooked rice for
model CKCPRC6040-060. Add rice to Inner Pot.
4. By using the Measuring Cup, add proper amount of water to the rice inside the Inner Pot (for
every cup [5.41 oz/160 mL] of raw rice, add 1-1/2 cups of water).
NOTE:
You may need to adjust the quantity of water depending on the kind of rice you are
cooking and how moist you prefer it. For sticker rice, add slightly more water. For fluffier rice, use
slightly less water. If you are cooking brown rice, add more water. You may also need to adjust
the water quantity by adding more water if you are using the rice cooker at a high altitude.
5. Set the Inner Pot into the Rice Cooker. Make sure that the Inner Pot sits directly in contact with
the heating plate by turning it slightly from right to left until it is seated properly. Cover with Lid.

to drip into the Inner Pot. Use the Paddle or another long handheld utensil to scoop and mix the
rice. After mixing, cover the Inner Pot with the Lid.
