• What you’ll need: Inner Pot
1. Using the provided measuring cup, measure out the desired amount of
rice. One cup refers to one full, level cup. Cooked rice expands to
double the amount of dry rice; for example cooking 2 cups of raw rice
will yield 4 cups of cooked rice.
2. Rinse rice in a mesh strainer or other separate container (do not rinse
rice in the inner pot) until the water becomes relatively clear. Place
rinsed rice into the inner pot.
3. Using the provided measuring cup or the measurement lines inside the
inner pot, add the appropriate amount of water to the inner pot. Refer
to the “ Rice/Water Measurement Chart ” on page 8 of this manual for
reference. The water lines in the inner pot are meant for white rice only;
brown rice and rice mixes require additional water (see note below).
Smooth over the top of the rice with the rice paddle so that the surface
is level to ensure even cooking.
4. Place the inner pot in the Whole Grain Gourmet
™
, making sure that the
outside surface of the pot is dry. Place the lid over the rice cooker and
plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
5. To begin cooking, press the “White Rice” button (or “Brown Rice”
button if cooking brown rice). The “White Rice” indicator light will
illuminate. Once cooking is complete, the rice cooker will automatically
switch to “Keep-Warm” mode.
6. After cooking, use an oven mitt to remove the lid and use the rice
paddle to stir the rice. This will release excess moisture and give the rice
a fluffier texture. Then, close the lid and allow to remain in
“Keep-Warm” mode for 5-10 minutes. This will ensure optimal rice
texture and moisture level.
7. Press the “Warm/Off” button twice to turn off the heat and unplug the rice
cooker to turn off the power. It is not recommended to leave rice on
“Keep-Warm” mode for more than 12 hours.
NOTES ON COOKING RICE:
• Brown rice takes longer to cook and requires more water than white
rice due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The water lines in the
inner pot are meant for white rice only. Please see the chart on page 8
for brown rice cooking ratios.
• Brown rice, wild rice and rice mixes vary in their make-up. Some
variations may require longer cooking times and/or additional water in
order to achieve optimum results. Refer to the individual package
instructions for cooking suggestions.
• The measuring cup provided adheres to rice industry standards
(180mL) and is equal to roughly ¾ of a standard U.S. cup (240mL).
The rice/water measurement chart on page 8 refers to cups of
rice/water according to the measuring cup provided.
• Do not place more than 9 cups of uncooked white rice ( 7 cups if using
brown rice) into this appliance at one time. The maximum capacity of
this unit is 9 cups uncooked white rice (7 cups if using brown rice) which
yields 18 cups of cooked rice (14 cups if using brown rice).

NOTES ON STEAMING VEGETABLES:
• Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is
no need to increase the amount of water with a larger serving of
vegetables.
• Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will affect cooking times.
• This steaming chart is for reference only. Actual cooking time may vary.

NOTES ON STEAMING MEAT:
• Steaming times may vary depending upon the cut of meat being used.
• To ensure meat tastes its best, and is safe to eat, check that meat is
completely cooked prior to serving. Use a meat thermometer to see if the
internal temperature is at least that of the safe termperatures listed above.
If it is not, simply place more water in the inner pot and repeat the cooking
process until a safe temperature is reached.
