TIPS FOR DELICIOUS RICE

New crop

Softer rice

Old crop

Harder rice

Water 

Adjustment Normal scale level

Type of Rice

Reduce water slightly 

from the normal level

Add a little water to 

the normal level

Doing so releases excess moisture, resulting in rice that is perfectly cooked with a fluffy texture. Loosen the rice within 10 

minutes after cooking completes. Not loosening the rice may cause it to clump, become too glutinous or burn.

If you add too much water, it may boil over through the Steam Vent.

Warning!

Do not clean the rice or adjust the amount of water using hot water (35°C or above).

Doing so will cause the rice to be cooked improperly.

Be sure to use the Measuring Cup provided, as other measuring cups may differ. 

Level the rice off at the top of the cup to maintain accuracy.

Do not use alkalized ionic water that is over pH 9. Rice cooked with 

strongly alkalized ionic water may appear yellow or become too glutinous.

Be sure to adjust the amount of water on a flat surface. The water scale 

level is a guideline. Adjust the amount of water according to preference, 

rice type, and crop age.

Measure rice accurately

Do not use strongly alkalized ionic water

When keeping rice in the Inner Cooking Pan for later consumption, use the Keep Warm mode.

Stir and loosen rice immediately after cooking has completed

Adjust the amount of water accordingly

Clean rice quickly

Gather rice in center

Prepare a bowl to pool water

First, pour plenty of water into the Inner Cooking 

Pan from the bowl and stir the rice loosely by hand 

2 or 3 times (for 10 seconds or less). Drain the 

water immediately afterwards. Repeat twice.

Wash by stirring the rice by hand 30 times, pour 

plenty of water from the bowl and stir the rice 

loosely again. Drain the water immediately 

afterwards. Repeat this washing process 2-4 times.

Lastly, pour plenty of water from the bowl and rinse 

the rice. Repeat twice.

.

To prevent the rice from becoming dry, wet, 

developing an odor or turning yellow, do not use 

the Keep Warm mode for the following.

Keeping a small amount of rice warm for a long period.

Keeping rice warm for more than 12 hours.

Adding additional rice while keeping rice warm.

Reheating cold rice.

Keeping congee warm.

Keeping rice warm when it contains additional ingredients and 

seasonings (mixed rice, sweet rice, etc.).

Keeping foods other than rice warm, such as croquettes or 

miso soup.

Keeping rice warm with the Spatula left inside the Rice Cooker.

If rice is left in the Inner Cooking Pan even though the Appliance Plug has been disconnected from the Main Body, the 

Power Plug has been disconnected from the electrical outlet, or Keep Warm mode has been cancelled, the rice may 

develop a foul odor or condensed moisture may fall on the rice, making it sticky.

When keeping a small amount of 

rice warm, gather the rice toward 

the center of the Inner Cooking Pan.

As the amount of rice kept warm decreases, 

the rice may dry or become wet. To minimize 

this, gather the rice toward the center of the 

Inner Cooking Pan while keeping warm.
