USING THE RICE COOKER
Cooking rice
1. 

Rinse rice in a separate container until water becomes 
relatively clear. We recommend washing rice in cold water 
and letting it drain. This will remove excess starch and any 
loose bran. It also makes the cooked rice less sticky.

2.  Fill the inner pot with the amount of rice required.

3.  Add the required amount of water - generally, use 1 cup of 

water for each cup of rice.

4.  Don’t fill past the mark inside the inner pot.
5.  Put the lid on the inner pot.
6.  Plug the cooker in (switch the socket on, if switch able).

7.  Press the control down - it’ll lock in the down position, and 

the cook light ( 

 ) will come on.

8.  When the rice is cooked, the control will pop up to its 

original position, the cook light ( 

 ) will go out. The 

cooker will automatically switch to warm mode and the 
keep warm light ( 

 ) will illuminate.

9.  Wait for 10 to 15 minutes, then unplug the cooker.
10.  Put on the oven gloves.
11.  Steam will come out when you lift the lid. Tilt it slightly to 

direct the steam away from you.

12.  Lift out the inner pot and set it down on a heat-resistant 

mat or dinner plate.

13.   Use the rice paddle to mix the rice, to let all the steam 

escape.

Steaming food

1.   Add the desired amount of water into the inner pot. 
2.   Place steam tray on rice cooker.

3.   Place food in tray and place the lid on top. Press down on 

the power switch. 

4.   When steaming is complete, it will automatically switch to 

warm mode, the keep warm light ( 

 ) will illuminate.  It is 

recommended that you keep food on warm no longer than 
10 minutes to avoid over cooking.
