Operating Instructions
1. Taste/hardness will vary depending on the quality / type of rice and length of time it is cooked. For a
softer, ufer rice, add a little more water; for rmer, crunchier rice, add a little less water. You may need to
experiment to suit your taste.
NOTE: For best results in texture and avor, let rice stand in warmer for 20 minutes after cooking.
NOTE: Brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice and requires more water.
2. Place the lid on rice cooker. Plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The WARM indicator light will come
on. Push the “ON” switch down and the COOK indicator light will come on. As the rice expands and cooks,
steam will come out of vent in lid.
DO NOT place the cooker directly under your cabinets. Slight spattering is normal.
NOTE: Cooking will begin only when the “ON” switch is pushed down and the inner pot is in position.
3. When cooking is done, the rice cooker will automatically switch to WARM (the warm indicator light will
come on) and will continue until the unit is unplugged. Rice can be kept warm for several hours. For best
results, let the cooked rice sit for 15 minutes before stirring or removing. This allows the steam to nish the
cooking process. Do not try to prevent the cooker from switching to the WARM cycle. Do not immediately
depress switch again after it has begun the WARM cycle.
4. Fluff rice with a plastic or wood utensil and mix in ingredients such as minced vegetables, if desired.
5. When done, unplug rice cooker. Always clean the cooker thoroughly as soon as possible after each use.
As rice cooks, a thin crust can develop on the bottom of the cooking bowl. This crust is chewy and many people
enjoy eating it. With parboiled and brown rice the crust can be brown on the bottom. The crust can easily be
peeled off and discarded, if preferred.
Use serving scoop (or a wooden spoon or paddle) to stir and remove rice: Do not use metal utensils that can
scratch or dent the cooking bowl.
Points to remember:
1. Do not operate the rice cooker without water.
NOTE: Add more water to the base when using rice cooker in higher altitudes.
2. Avoid placing unit under any wall cabinets when operating, as much steam is generated. Avoid reaching
over the unit when it is operating.
3. Use clean water to ll water reservoir before each use. Do not use wine, broth or other liquids. Do not add
anything to the water.
4. Cooking times are estimates and depend on the quantity, size, desired degree of doneness and
temperature of food.
5. Do not store any part of rice cooker in the refrigerator or freezer.
6. Cooking times cam lengthen/shorten according to personal taste. Hold time can vary.
7. Use hot pads or oven mitts when removing the lid from rice cooker. Open the lid carefully to allow
steam to escape safely.
8. A bit of water may remain in water reservoir after rice cooker is turned off. This is normal.
9. Do not use any parts in a microwave oven or on any cooking/heated surface.
