CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES
1. Generally, it is best to wash the rice before cooking; these removes starch and reduce
stickiness. To wash, place in a bowl, add water, rinse rice thoroughly until water appears
chalky or cloudy. Next, drain the water. Repeat process until water is clear. Do not wash
the rice in the inner pot; if the inner pot is wet on the outside when cooking, it may
damage the appliance.
2. Some rice may require a soaking period, this can be done in the rice pot before cooking.
3. We recommend experimenting to determine the rice cooking and steaming times for
different type of rice and foods.
4. For best texture, allow cooked rice to rest in “WARM” mode for 5-10 minutes before
serving.
5. After rice ‘rests’ for 5-10 minutes, remove the lid and stir gently with the rice spoon or a
wooden spoon. If rice is not ready to serve, cover the pot again and let stand on “WARM”
until ready.
6. The rice cooker will automatically switch to “WARM” setting when it has finished cooking.
During this time, you may add in chopped raw vegetables such as spring onions, peas,
shredded carrots, and/or tomatoes using the steamer. It will be warmed while the rice is
‘resting’, retaining their quality.
7. The water you use for cooking rice should be potable. The quality or taste of water will
affect the taste of the cooked rice.
8. For the best results use cold water. The cooking time will vary depending on the
temperature of the water used.
9. Stock (beef or poultry) can be used in place of plain water for cooking to add taste to
the rice.
