Automatic Rice Cooker Use and Care Guide
Cleaning Instructions
◆
PLEASE NOTE:
It is normal to have a brown ‘rice crust’ coating
the bottom layer of the Inner Pot when the rice has finished
cooking and steaming.
◆
This appliance should be cleaned after every use. Unplug the unit
from the wall outlet. NEVER immerse Main Housing or Power
Cord in water. Allow the unit to cool before cleaning.
◆
Let the Rice Cooker cool. Fill Inner Pot with warm water and allow
to sit for a while. Wash in warm, soapy water with a sponge and dry
thoroughly with a cloth.
◆
The Wire Cooking Rack, Glass Lid, Rice Measuring Cup and Rice
Paddle may also be washed in warm, soapy water.
CAUTION: Handle the Glass Lid with extreme care, as it may
become slippery when wet.
◆
Do not wash Inner Pot or Wire Cooking Rack in dishwasher.
◆
The Main Housing can be wiped clean with a soft, slightly damp
cloth or sponge.
◆
NEVER POUR LIQUID INTO THE MAIN HOUSING OR
IMMERSE IT IN WATER.
Other Suggestions For Use and Care
◆
Be careful not to dent the Inner Pot, especially the bottom of it. To
work properly and produce the best cooking results, the Inner Pot
must fit snugly on top of the thermostat.
◆
DO NOT let loose grains of rice or other food particles fall into
the bottom of the Main Housing because they might prevent the
thermostat from fitting tightly against the bottom of the Inner Pot
and cause inadequate cooking.
◆
Use the plastic Rice Paddle or a wooden spoon to stir and remove
food from the Inner Pot. NEVER use any metal utensils.
◆
Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads because they can
damage the finish of both the Inner Pot and Main Housing.
Storing Instructions
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and clean all parts. Be sure all
parts are dry before storing. Store appliance in its box or in a clean,
dry place. Never store it while it is hot, wet or still plugged in. Never
wrap Power Cord around the appliance. To avoid damage to the
Inner Pot or Glass Lid, wrap a soft cloth around the Lid and store it
upside down over the Inner Pot.
Cooking Legumes & Grains
General Information
High-protein, high-fiber meatless dishes of legumes and grains can be
very satisfying and very delicious.
Cooking Instructions
Measure legumes or grain with the Automatic Rice Cooker Measuring
Cup, and pour into the Inner Pot. Fill Inner Pot with water to desired
cup line. Cover. Plug Power Cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
The AMBER ON/WARM Light will go on. Push Lever down to begin
COOK Mode. The RED COOK Light will illuminate. Legumes and
grains tend to foam while cooking. To help minimize foaming, stir
after cooking one hour. If any liquid remains at the end of the
recommended cooking time, switch to WARM Mode and let stand
until liquid is absorbed. For added flavor, substitute broth for water.
Do not allow the Automatic Rice Cooker to boil dry.
