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

●
When keeping rice in the Inner Cooking Pan for later consumption, use the
Keep Warm mode.
●
The rice may develop a foul odor or condensed moisture may fall on the rice, making it sticky, if the Keep Warm mode
is cancelled or if left in an unplugged Rice Cooker.
●
To prevent the rice from becoming dry or 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 long hours.
●
Keeping rice warm for
more than 12 hours.
●
Adding additional rice
while keeping rice warm.
●
Reheating cold rice.
●
Keeping congee warm.
●
When keeping a small amount
of rice warm, gather the rice
toward the center of the Inner
Cooking Pan.
●
Keeping rice warm when it contains
additional ingredients and seasonings
(mixed 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.
●
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.

●
Measure rice accurately
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 strongly alkalized ionic water
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.
●
Stir and loosen rice immediately after cooking
has completed
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.
