Warm mode, press the or button and the
Display will switch.

cannot switch.
●
Foul odors or the growth of bacteria may occur
depending on how well the unit is cleaned, the room
temperature based on the season or usage environment,
frequent opening and closing of the Outer Lid, the type
of rice used, or the way the rice was cleaned. If you are
concerned about odors, cleaning the Rice Cooker
according to “THE INTERIOR” on
pg. 20
and then using
REGULAR KEEP WARM should be effective. It can be
even more effective to increase the warming
temperature, as described on
pg. 25
, “IF THE
FOLLOWING OCCUR”.
●
When keeping rice in the Inner Cooking Pan for later consumption, you must use the Keep
Warm mode.
Press the button.

●
Be sure to loosen the rice to prevent scorching or the rice from becoming hard.
●
To reheat a small amount of rice, add 1 tablespoon of water for each bowl of
rice (approx. 160 g), mix well, and gather the rice toward the center of the Inner
Cooking Pan. Doing so will minimize dryness.
●
Be careful not to burn yourself when stirring and loosening rice.
●
The Inner Cooking Pan may spin when loosening the rice. Holding the Inner
Cooking Pan (which is very hot immediately after reheating) with an oven-mitt
or a soft cloth will keep it from spinning while reducing damage to the outside
bottom of the pan.
Loosen and level the surface of the
rice that is being kept warm.
●
Loosen and level the surface of the rice, as the rice at the bottom may be harder.

●
This Reheat function is for reheating the rice during Keep Warm
mode to make the rice hotter. Particularly, when the rice is kept
warm at a lower temperature by the Extended Keep Warm mode, the
Reheat function will reheat the rice to the best serving temperature.
●
You can reheat the rice only when the KEEP WARM light is on.
●
Do not use the Reheat function to reheat food other than white rice, as reheating other types of rice may cause scorching or
discoloring.
●
Do not repeat the Reheat function as doing so may cause scorching or dryness.
●
Do not use the Reheat function if the amount of rice left over is above water level 3 (for 1.0 L model) or 6 (for 1.8 L model) for
WHITE as the rice may not be warmed adequately.
●
Do not use the Reheat function if the rice is cold or the temperature of the Inner Cooking Pan is too low as doing so may
cause scorching, foul odors or the rice may become hard.
