set up & use
• Try using beef, poultry or vegetable
stock instead of water for more
flavorful rice.
• Experiment with different kinds of
rice. Your rice cooker is perfect for
many kinds of rice including Wild
Rice blends, Jasmine Rice, Brown
Rice and Basmati Rice.
• Rinsing your rice washes away
excess starch and makes fluffier rice.
Don’t wash flavored or enriched
rice; it will wash away flavors and
valuable nutrients.
• Do not open lid during cooking
or cook with lid open. Heat and
moisture will escape and affect the
final outcome.
• Always ensure that the outside of
your rice bowl and the inside of the
rice cooker body are clean and dry
before starting any cooking mode.
• When cooking rice, ensure that the
rice is well distributed around the
rice bowl to allow for even cooking.

cLeaning and care
It is advised that you clean your rice cooker and all of the used accessories after
each use. Ensure the rice cooker is unplugged before cleaning. NEVER clean the rice
cooker while it is still plugged in.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of the rice cooker. Do not
immerse the main body in water. Remove the rice bowl, and the steamer basket (if
used) from the main body. Wash these items in warm soapy water along with the
spatula and measuring scoop. Do not use any scouring pads on the rice bowl as they
will damage the non-stick coating. If rice has “baked” on the rice bowl and regular
washing will not remove it, place hot soapy water into the bowl and let it sit. After
allowing the bowl to soak, the rice should be loosened enough to remove. If this does
not work, continue to let the rice bowl soak.
After every use, a residue will build up on the
underside of the lid plate. To clean, wipe the
lid and the large silicone ring (being careful
not to remove it) with a warm, damp cloth.
We recommend removing the silicone gasket
by turning counterclockwise to unlock from
the lid plate. Wipe the gasket and the steam
vent with a warm, damp cloth. Ensure the
silicone gasket is properly inserted into the lid
plate before using.
Be sure to clean the condensation chamber
located on the side of the rice cooker body.
To clean, remove the chamber by pressing on
the sides of the plastic cover and removing
by pulling outwards. Clean by running the
plastic cover under warm running water. Dry
thoroughly and replace by pushing the cover
back into the groove on the rice cooker body.
To clean the inside of your rice cooker, ensure
it has cooled down. Use a damp cloth to
clean the inside removing remaining food and
moisture. Dry thoroughly.
To clean the main body of the rice cooker, wipe the exterior including the lid with a
damp cloth. NEVER immerse any part of the main body in water or liquid. Polish the
exterior of the rice cooker with a dry, soft cloth.
• When opening, always open
lid from face, to avoid steam
burns. Handle the rice bowl
carefully.
• Scratching or denting the bowl
might cause unsatisfactory
performance.
• Before using, be sure that the
outside of the rice bowl is clean
and dry. Be sure that the heat
sensor in the center on the
inside of the base is clean, dry
and cool.
• If you would like to begin
another cook cycle after your
cook mode is completed, you
must ensure that the heat
sensor on the inside of the
base is clean, dry and cool.
Beginning a cook cycle with
a cool heat sensor will ensure
your rice cooker will cook
properly. If you wish to cool
down the heat sensor quickly,
remove the rice bowl from the
unit and leave the lid open.
Allow the unit to cool down
while you are preparing the
food or rice for your next cook
cycle. The cool down process
may take up to 30 minutes to
complete.
