How To:
Before the First Use
1 Remove all packaging materials before using.
2 Wash lid, inner pot , rice ladle and measuring cup in warm,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. See Care and Cleaning .
DO NOT IMMERSE THE HEATING UNIT OF YOUR RICE COOKER IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
Using Your rice cooker
Note : Measuring your rice is of extreme importance. Please do not
discard the Westinghouse measuring cup included with this unit. This is a
“rice cooker” measuring cup, not a standard U.S. measuring cup. One rice
cup of the Westinghouse measuring cup included with this unit is equal to
5.33 ounces of uncooked rice. The rice cooker is capable of cooking up to 5
full “rice cooker” Westinghouse measuring cups of uncooked rice, or 10
(5.33oz) Westinghouse cups of cooked rice.
Do not use instant rice with this unit.
1 Measure the amount of rice you would like to cook.
2 Wash the measured rice in a separate bowl until water is clear.
3 Place rice in the INNER POT and add the corresponding amount of
water. For example, if you are making 5 Westinghouse cups of uncooked
rice, add water after adding rice to the “5” mark on the inner bowl.
NOTE: Brown rice will take longer to cook than white rice.
4 Set the INNER POT into the rice cooker. Make sure that the INNER
POT is in direct contact with the heating BASE by turning it slightly
from left to right until it properly fits onto the heating BASE. NOTE:
Make sure the outside of the inner pot is completely dry before
placing onto the heating plate.
5 Cover with the LID. WARNING: Do not operate this appliance
uncovered—steam is generated during use that could cause burns
