Use Guide

Before First Use

1. Remove all packaging materials and stickers.
2. Wash the inner pot, steamer tray, measuring cups, and serving spoon with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Wipe the exterior of the main unit and the inside of the lid with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.

Cooking Rice

1. Measure Rice: Use the provided rice measuring cup. One level cup of uncooked rice is approximately one serving.
2. Rinse Rice (Optional): Rinse rice in a separate bowl until water runs clear to remove excess starch.
3. Add Rice and Water: Place the rinsed rice into the inner pot. Add the corresponding amount of water using the water measuring cup or follow the water level lines inside the pot. A common ratio is 1 cup of rice to 1.5 cups of water, but refer to the rice package or recipe book for specific types.
4. Assemble: Place the inner pot into the cooker base. Ensure it is seated properly. Close the lid securely.
5. Cook: Plug the power cord into a standard 110V outlet. Press the cooking button down until it clicks. The cooker will begin heating. The button will pop up automatically when cooking is complete and the unit will enter keep-warm mode.
6. Serve: Once cooking is finished, let the rice sit for 5-10 minutes with the lid closed. Then, fluff with the serving spoon and serve. Unplug the unit when finished.

Using the Steamer Tray

1. Add water to the inner pot, ensuring the water level is below the bottom of the steamer tray.
2. Place food to be steamed (e.g., vegetables, fish, dumplings) on the steamer tray.
3. Place the steamer tray with food into the inner pot.
4. Close the lid and start the cooking cycle as described above. Steam until food is cooked through.
5. Use caution when opening the lid to avoid steam burns.

Keep-Warm Function

After cooking finishes, the Rice Robot will automatically switch to keep-warm mode. Rice can be kept warm for several hours. For best texture and food safety, it is recommended to consume rice within 1-2 hours and not to leave it on warm overnight.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Inner Pot & Steamer Tray: Allow to cool. The nonstick inner pot and stainless steel steamer tray are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended) or can be washed by hand with a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Main Unit & Lid: Always unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely. Wipe the exterior housing and the inside of the lid with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the base unit, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
• Serving Spoon & Measuring Cups: Wash with warm, soapy water.
• Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing. The cord can be wrapped around the feet on the bottom of the unit.

Safety Information

• This appliance is for household use only.
• Use only with a 110-120V AC electrical outlet.
• Do not operate the appliance if the cord or plug is damaged, or if the appliance malfunctions or is damaged in any manner.
• To prevent electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or main unit in water or other liquids.
• The exterior surfaces may become hot during use. Use handles and avoid touching hot surfaces.
• Be careful of escaping steam when opening the lid. Open away from your face and body.
• Do not place the cooker on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended purpose (cooking rice, steaming food).
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Troubleshooting

• Rice is undercooked or watery: You may have added too much water. Use less water next time or ensure you are using the correct rice-to-water ratio.
• Rice is burnt or stuck to the bottom: You may have added too little water, or the inner pot was not properly seated. Ensure the pot is correctly placed and use the recommended amount of water.
• Cooker does not start: Ensure the unit is plugged into a working outlet. Check that the inner pot is correctly placed inside the cooker base. The cooking button will not stay down if the pot is not detected.
• Steam is escaping from the sides: Ensure the lid is closed completely and securely.
• Keep-warm function does not activate: The automatic switch from cook to warm is internal. If the rice is cooked but the unit turns off completely, there may be a malfunction. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before inspecting.
