INNER POT WATER LINES
The water lines in the inner pot may be used to measure the correct amount
of water for rice (see illustration below). Be sure to add the desired amount of
rice first. Then fill the inner pot with water to the corresponding line in the
inner pot (i.e. 6 cups of uncooked rice would be filled to line 6 in the inner
pot). This is a quick and easy method to achieve perfect rice results.
NOTE:
If using the “Quick Rice” function with brown rice, it is recommended
an additional cup of water, using the included measuring cup, is
added.
4. Place the inner pot into the rice cooker. Close the lid, making sure that it
locks into place, and plug the power cord into a wall outlet. The
“Warm/Off” light will flash and two dashes will appear on the LED
screen (see illustration below). The dashes will remain on the screen
unless the “Delay Timer” or “Smart Steam” functions are used.
5. To begin cooking, press the "White Rice" or "Brown Rice" button,
depending upon the type of rice to be cooked. The cooking mode
indicator light will illuminate.
6. Once cooking is complete, the rice cooker will automatically switch to
“Keep-Warm” mode. The digital display will show a countdown 12 minutes
for white rice and 25 minutes for brown rice prior to the completion of the
cooking cycle.
TIP:If you wish to cancel your selection at any time, press the “Warm/Off”
button and reset by pressing the appropriate cooking button.
VEGETABLE STEAMING GUIDE
Helpful Hints:
1. Since most vegetables only
absorb a small amount of
water, there is no need to
increase the amount of
water for larger servings.
2. Always keep the lid closed
during the entire steaming
process. Opening the lid
causes a loss of heat and
steam, resulting in a slower
cooking time. If you find it
necessary to open the lid,
you may want to add a
small amount of water to
help restore the cooking time.

3. Frozen vegetables will take
a longer time to cook.
4. When using the steam tray,
the maximum amount of
rice that can be cooked
simultaneously is 8 cups
(uncooked). This ensures
that both the cooked rice
and the steam tray will fit
properly into the inner pot.
5. Altitude, humidity and
outside temperature will
affect cooking times.

NOTE:
Brown rice requires a much longer cooking cycle than other rice
varieties due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The “Brown Rice”
function on this rice cooker allows extra time and adjusted heat
setings in order to cook the rice properly.
