REHEATING RICE

USING THE TIMER TO COOK RICE

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 with oven mitts or a soft cloth will keep it from spinning while 

reducing damages to the outside bottom of the pan.

Loosen and level the surface of the rice, as the rice at the bottom may be harder.

rice left over is above water level 2 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.

Standard times

required for reheating:

You can use this function during Regular Keep 

Warm mode or Extended Keep Warm mode.

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.

USING THE TIMER

Do not use the Timer function if you are 

adding ingredients and/or seasonings to the 

rice. Ingredients may spoil or seasonings 

may settle to the bottom of the Inner Cooking 

Pan and your results may not be satisfactory.

Be sure to set the Timer for less than 13 hours, 

especially during summer, to prevent the soaked 

rice from spoiling due to the higher room 

temperature.

Do not use the Timer when cooking Germinated 

Brown Rice as it tends to absorb too much water 

and your results may not be satisfactory.

Press and hold the button to quickly adjust the time in 10-minute increments.

You do not need to set the time again when using the same settings.

The START / REHEAT light turns off, and the time you wish to finish 
cooking and the TIMER light turn on.

The Timer function is not available in the QUICK COOKING and MIXED 

menu settings.

The preset time for 

"Timer 1" and the START / REHEAT light will blink.

Press the button again and the preset time for Timer 2 will appear.

sound, the Rice Cooker will start cooking immediately, and the 

remaining time until cooking is finished will be displayed.

Cooking may not complete at the set time if the temperature of the 

room or water is too low. In addition, the cooking time may be affected 

by the amount of water or voltage.

When cooking using the Timer function, the rice absorbs extra moisture, 

which can make the rice softer or the bran can collect at the bottom and burn.

press       or       button and the Display will switch.
