Using Your Rice Cooker/ Steamer to Cook Rice
1
Only measure rice with the enclosed measuring cup. For best results
rinse measured rice until the water becomes relatively clear (see
“Helpful Hints” section for details).
2
Place rinsed rice in the pan, add water. For 6 cups of uncooked rice
(yields 10-12 cups of cooked rice), use 6 full scoops of rice to the line
indicated on the measuring cup and add to inner pot.
3
Add water to the 6 cup line on the inside of the pot. Always add the
rice to the pot BEFORE adding the water to the pot. The water level
marked on the inner pot is based upon having rice added already.
4
Place the pot in the rice cooker.
5
Close the outer lid. The lid is properly closed when it clicks.
6
Plug in and immediately press the switch down to “Cook”. The
“Cook” indicator light will illuminate to indicate the rice is cooking.
7
The rice cooker will automatically switch to “Keep Warm” when the
cooking process has completed (approx 25 - 35 minutes). The Keep
Warm function will continue until the unit is unplugged.
8
Open the rice cooker by pressing the release button on the handle.
Be sure to open the lid facing away from you to avoid any hot steam.
9
Remove and clean the condensation collector after every use.
