Precautions when keeping the rice warm
•
Fluff and mix the rice and gather into a pile at the center.
-
Mixing and gathering the rice in the middle prevents rice at the edge of the inner pot from drying out.
-
Do not allow the rice to touch the inner pot lid.
•
Do not leave the rice scoop inside the cooker while rice is being kept warm.
-
Keeping rice warm with the rice scoop inside the cooker can cause the rice to harden, be discolored, or even smell.
-
In particular, wooden rice paddle may develop germs and cause the rice to smell.
•
The appropriate warming time is under 12 hours at most.
-
Warming rice over 12 hours can make the rice flavorless and/or cause it to be discolored or smell.
-
Securely close the lid for warming.
-
Only keep plain rice warm. If possible, avoid keeping mixed or brown rice warm. Instead, serve them right after cooking.
•
Always attach the clean cover when keeping rice warm or reheating it.
Notes
•
It is recommended to serve reheated rice right away.
•
Rice cooked in modes other than PLAIN (MIXED, BROWN, etc.) should be served immediately after cooking. Reheating may cause
the rice to be discolored and/or develop smell.
•
Frequent reheating can cause the rice to be discolored and/or dry out.
•
Reheating starts only when the lid lock is placed at the Lock (
●
) position. When it is at the Open (O) position, a warning sound is
issued and the cooker remains in the Warm mode. If the clean cover is not attached, the product does not recognize the lid lock
and its Reheat function won't work.
Keeping the Rice Warm
Reheating
Once cooking is finished, the cooker automatically enters the WARM mode. Or pressing the [WARM/REHEAT]
button under the standby mode starts warming.
•
Once in the Warm mode, the elapsed warming time is displayed instead of the
current time.
-
It is displayed in minutes up to 59 minutes and then in hours up to 199 hours.
-
When it reaches 199 hours, the timer stops increasing.
•
As the warming time passes, the color of the box in the display changes as follows:
-
From 1 minute to less than 6 hours: Green
-
From 6 hours to less than 12 hours: Orange
-
From 12 hours to 199 hours: Red
Reheating produces rice as hot as freshly cooked rice.
Press the [WARM/REHEAT] button while the rice is being
kept warm to start reheating.
•
Reheating is available only in the Warm mode.
•
Once reheating is completed, the cooker switches to the Warm mode.
•
Press the WARM/REHEAT button again while reheating is in progress
to cancel REHEAT and return to the Warm mode.
