Keeping Warm and Reheating
Cautions During Warming
• Stir the rice and collect it in the center.
-
To prevent rice near to the surfaces of the inner pot from drying, stir the rice and gather it toward the center.
-
Do not let the rice touch the inner pot lid.
• Do not put a rice scoop inside during warming.
-
If you keep a rice scoop inside during warming, the rice may harden or be discolored and odorous.
-
In particular, wooden rice paddle may develop germs and cause the rice to smell.
• Warming is suitable within 12 hours.
-
If you warm rice for more than 12 hours, the rice starts to lose its flavor and be discolored and odorous.
-
Be sure to close the lid properly 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 the rice warm or reheating it.
Once cooking is finished, the cooker automatically enters the warming mode. Or press the [WARM/REHEAT]
button in the standby mode to start the warming.
•
Once switched to the warming mode, the cooker displays the elapsed
warming time instead of the current time.
-
The elapsed warming time is displayed in the minutes to up to 199 hours.
-
If the time exceeds 199 hours, it displays "200 hours exceeded".
This function makes rice being warmed fresher and its taste closer to newly cooked rice.
Press the [Warm/Reheat] button during warming to start reheating.
•
Reheating only works during warming.
•
Once reheating starts, the round lamp flashes.
•
When reheating is finished, the cooker switches back to the warming mode.
•
During reheating, press the [Warm/Reheat] button again to cancel the
reheating and switch back to warming.
Notes
•
It is recommended to eat the rice immediately after reheating.
•
It is recommended to eat other kinds of rice than plain rice (mixed rice, brown rice, etc.) immediately after
cooking, because such kinds of rice may get discolored and become smelly when reheated.
•
If you use the reheating function too often, rice may be discolored or dry.
•
Reheating proceeds only when the lid handle is in the lock (●) position. When it is in the open (○) position,
warming continues after a beep. (If the clean cover is not attached, the product does not recognize the lid lock
and its reheating function does not work.)
