Cooking sweet rice
When cooking sweet rice, select the “Mixed•Sweet”
menu.
Wash the rice, and then level it out so that all of
the rice is under water.
Cooking grains together with white rice
• The amount of grains should equal less than
20% of the volume of the white rice.
• The grains should be placed on top of the
white rice. Mixing them together may result in
improperly cooked food.
• If you feel the cooked grains are too hard, soak
the grains separately for about 1 hour prior to
cooking.
Cooking grains together with brown rice
• Always use the “Brown” menu.
• The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of brown rice and grains is 3.5
cups with the 1.0 L type and 6 cups with the 1.8
L type.
Cooking short-grain rice
• When cooking short-grain rice, select the
“Plain/Synchro-Cooking” menu. When cooking
seasoned rice with various ingredients using
short-grain rice, select the “Mixed•Sweet”
menu. In either case, darker brown crisp rice
may be formed when cooking short-grain
rice. Selecting any other menu may result in
improperly cooked food.
Cooking long-grain rice
• When you cook long-grain rice, we recommend
selecting the "Quick" menu. If you select the
"Plain/Synchro-Cooking" menu, it takes longer
to cook than the "Quick" menu.
1
Measure the rice.
Always use the measuring cup supplied with
the rice cooker (for rinse-free rice as well).
A level filling of rice in the supplied measuring
cup equals about 0.18 L.
●
Fill the measuring cup as shown below.
Correct

Incorrect
measurement
Note
● Always use the specified volume of rice (see
“Specifications” on p.41). Otherwise the rice
may not cook properly.
If other ingredients are to be added to the rice,
see p.13.
2
Wash the rice. (This can be
done using the inner pot.)
For rinse-free rice, see p.13.
Note
●
Do not use hot water (over 95°F [35°C]) to wash
the rice or when adding water. It may prevent the
rice from cooking properly.
●
Do not apply too much force while washing the
rice.
This could damage the inner pot and prevent rice
from cooking properly.
3
Adjust the water level.
Place the inner pot on a level surface and
adjust the water level to the appropriate line
of the corresponding scale on the inside of
the pot.
●
The water level should be selected according
to the type of rice and the selected cooking
menu, but can be fine-adjusted to your personal
preference. (See the guidelines on p.13.)
When cooking 3
cups of white rice,
adjust the water
level to line “3” on
the “Plain” scale.
4
Wipe off any water and rice, etc.

Caution
●
Be sure to remove any rice or other material
adhering to and around the heater plate, center
sensor, upper casing, and the hook button. (See
p.31.)
Adhering material can prevent the lid from
closing, allow steam to leak out during cooking, or
enable the lid to open and the contents to spray
out, resulting in burns or other injury.
