Adjustment Normal scale level
Type of Rice
Reduce water slightly
from the normal level
Add a little water to
the normal level
Doing so releases excess moisture, resulting in rice that is perfectly cooked with a fluffy texture. Loosen the rice within 10
minutes after cooking completes. Not loosening the rice may cause it to clump, become too glutinous or burn.
●
If you add too much water, it may boil over through the Steam Vent.
Warning!
Do not clean the rice or adjust the amount of water using hot water (35°C or above).
Doing so will cause the rice to be cooked improperly.
Be sure to use the Measuring Cup provided, as other measuring cups may differ.
Level the rice off at the top of the cup to maintain accuracy.
Do not use alkalized ionic water that is over pH 9. Rice cooked with
strongly alkalized ionic water may appear yellow or become too glutinous.
Be sure to adjust the amount of water on a flat surface. The water scale
level is a guideline. Adjust the amount of water according to preference,
rice type, and crop age.
●
Measure rice accurately
●
Do not use strongly alkalized ionic water
●
When keeping rice in the Inner Cooking Pan for later consumption, use the Keep Warm mode.
●
Stir and loosen rice immediately after cooking has completed
●
Adjust the amount of water accordingly
●
Clean rice quickly

To prevent the rice from becoming dry, wet,
developing an odor or turning yellow, do not use
the Keep Warm mode for the following.
●
Keeping a small amount of rice warm for a long period.
●
Keeping rice warm for more than 12 hours.
●
Adding additional rice while keeping rice warm.
●
Reheating cold rice.
●
Keeping congee warm.

Keeping rice warm when it contains additional ingredients and
seasonings (mixed rice, sweet rice, etc.).
●
Keeping foods other than rice warm, such as croquettes or
miso soup.
●
Keeping rice warm with the Spatula left inside the Rice Cooker.
●
If rice is left in the Inner Cooking Pan even though the Appliance Plug has been disconnected from the Main Body, the
Power Plug has been disconnected from the electrical outlet, or Keep Warm mode has been cancelled, the rice may
develop a foul odor or condensed moisture may fall on the rice, making it sticky.
●
When keeping a small amount of
rice warm, gather the rice toward
the center of the Inner Cooking Pan.
●
As the amount of rice kept warm decreases,
the rice may dry or become wet. To minimize
this, gather the rice toward the center of the
Inner Cooking Pan while keeping warm.
