USING YOUR RICE COOKER
Measuring the ingredients - Max capacity of the bowl

these are used for measuring the amount of water when cooking rice
and other cereals. There are 4 types of water level marks: Jasmine Rice,
White Rice, Brown Rice, and Congee.
• The maximum quantity of water + rice should not exceed the 8 cups mark
inside the bowl – Fig. 5.
• The plastic cup provided with your appliance is for measuring rice and
other cereals.
• To cook 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large portion), use
1 measuring cup of white rice and then add 1-1.3 measuring cup of water
depending on your preference of rice texture. To cook other quantities of
