using standard measuring cup
1. Measure desired amount of rice.
2. If required, rinse rice in cold water until water runs clear.
3. Place water and rice into rice bowl.

6. Plug cord into a 120V 60Hz AC only outlet.
7. Push On/Off lever down to begin cooking.
note:
· For softer rice, allow the rice to soak in the water for 10 to 20 minutes prior to cooking.
8. When cooking is complete, the rice cooker will automatically switch into Warm
mode. This feature will keep your rice at serving temperature. The keep warm
indicator light will illuminate.
9. After cooking, fluff rice with spatula, close lid and keep in Warm mode for 10
minutes. Any excess moisture will be absorbed during this time. Fluff rice again
and use the spatula to serve. This technique results in fluffier, better tasting rice.

unplug the rice cooker before removing the rice bowl. Always wear protective
oven mitts when touching the hot rice bowl.
note:
· Your rice cooker will remain in the WARM function until it is manually turned off. For best
results, the automatic keep-warm cycle should be left on no longer than 5 hours at a
time. To stop the automatic keep-warm cycle, you must unplug the appliance.
· Follow the cleaning instructions, located on page 9, after each use.
