HOW TO USE YOUR RICE COOKER (CONTINUED)
• Washing rice – Bran gives an unpleasant smell to the cooked rice. Be sure
to wash rice thoroughly. Washing with water effectively removes bran
quickly and thoroughly. NOTE: Some rice suppliers suggest not washing
rice because vitamins may be lost.
• After use, wash the INNER POT and LID in warm, soapy water.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Avoid keeping the RICE COOKER in operation:
- When there is only a small amount of rice left in the INNER POT
- When RICE PADDLE and/or MEASURING CUP is inside the RICE COOKER
- To warm up cold rice
