(approx. 180 mL)
Measure the rice with the provided
Measuring Cup.
Overfill the Measuring Cup with rice, then level off.
Clean the rice and adjust the amount of water.
Connect plugs.
When the melody or beep to indicate cooking completion sounds, stir and
loosen the rice immediately to give the rice a deliciously fluffy texture.
① Clean the rice. See “TIPS FOR COOKING DELICIOUS RICE” on pg. 32.
② On a flat surface, pour water over the rice in the Inner Cooking Pan, filling to the water measure line that
matches the number of cups of rice you are cooking and the menu setting. → pg. 36
③ For an accurate measurement, level the surface of the rice.
● The rice may be cooked immediately after cleaning rice, as soaking is not required. Soaking the rice will soften
the texture of the rice.
● The water level serves as a standard guideline and the amount of water should be adjusted according to
preference. (Adjust 1-2mm above or below the indicated water level.)
Place the Inner Cooking Pan into the Main Body, and attach the
Inner Lid Set and the Steam Vent Set. Close the Outer Lid.
Be sure to wipe moisture and foreign matter off the outer surface of the Inner Cooking Pan, the inside of the
Main Body, the Inner Lid Set, and the Steam Vent Set.
● Make sure that the Inner Cooking Pan is inserted all the way in.
● Close the Outer Lid carefully and firmly until you hear a click.
COOKING RICE
BASIC COOKING STEPS
●
The initial Menu setting at the time of shipment from the factory is WHITE.
● Please wash the Inner Cooking Pan, Inner Lid Set, Steam Vent Set and accessories before initial use. → pg. 46 – pg. 48
After use, press the button, and then unplug the Power Plug and
the Appliance Plug.
Press the button.
Select the desired Menu setting by
pressing the button.
REQUEST
● When cooking more than one pot of rice consecutively,
or cooking right after cancelling the Keep Warm mode,
allow the Rice Cooker to cool for 30 minutes or longer.
Cooking rice without first allowing the Rice Cooker to cool
may lead to a longer cooking time. (Up to approximately 60
minutes.) Also, the estimated time until cooking completion
may not be displayed for some time in this situation.
When adding water to the PORRIDGE
Water Level, do not cook using Menu
settings other than PORRIDGE. Using any
other Menu setting may cause contents to
boil over.
● The PORRIDGE menu setting selection
will not be saved. When cooking
porridge, please select it each time.
Be careful that the contents do not boil over.
●
The time remaining until completion is for reference only.
Actual time of cooking completion may vary depending on
room or water temperature, voltage or water measurement.
●
The Rice Cooker will make adjustments to the remaining
time until cooking completion when it reaches the steaming
process. The time until cooking completion may increase
or decrease suddenly during this process.
● Make sure the Rice Cooker is not in Keep Warm mode, then
press the START / REHEAT button. If the Keep Warm light is
on, the reheating process will start. → pg. 39
●
If you want to know the current time during the cooking
process, press or button and the Display will switch.
●
Do not put the Steaming Basket in the Rice Cooker while
cooking rice if not also steaming other foods.
The melody (beep) sounds, and cooking begins.
The START / REHEAT light turns on, and the Display
shows the estimated time (in minutes) until cooking
completes.
● The Inner Cooking Pan may spin when loosening the rice. Holding the Inner Cooking Pan (which is very hot immediately
after use) with oven-mitts or a soft cloth will keep it from spinning while reducing damage to the outside bottom of the pan.
● Depending on cooking conditions, the bottom portion of the rice may become slightly browned.
● Depending on the heat convection while cooking, the surface of the finished rice may look uneven.
● Do not begin cleaning the Rice Cooker until the Main Body has cooled.
● Please do not handle the Power Plug or Appliance Plug while your hands are wet. (Doing so may cause a short
circuit or electric shock.)
● Removing the Inner Cooking Pan only will not turn off the power. Make sure to press the CANCEL button.
When cooking completes, the Rice Cooker will automatically
switch to Keep Warm mode.
→ See “KEEPING RICE WARM” on pg. 37.
The KEEP WARM light turns on and the START / REHEAT light
turns off. The length of time that the rice has been kept warm is
displayed in hours (HRS).
When the Rice Cooker switches to Keep Warm mode,
immediately stir and loosen the rice.
By stirring and loosening the rice and removing excess moisture,
you prevent the rice from hardening, becoming sticky, or burning.
● Be careful not to burn yourself when stirring and loosening rice.
To cool the Main Body and Outer Lid quickly, please try the following:
・
Fill the Inner Cooking Pan with cold water and place it in the Main Body.
・
Open the Outer Lid, remove the Inner Lid Set and allow the Radiator Plate to cool.
