CLEANING

Important: Never immerse cooking base in water or other liquids.

1. Always unplug the rice cooker and allow to cool completely before cleaning.

2. Wash cooking bowl and glass lid in warm, soapy water. If food sticks to

the cooking bowl, fill with warm, soapy water and allow it to soak before

cleaning with plastic scouring pad

Note: Both the cooking bowl and glass lid are dishwasher safe.

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. Wipe interior and exterior of the cooking base with a soft, slightly damp

cloth or sponge.

Important: Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads to clean the

cooking base, as they may damage the surfaces.

5. If water accidentally gets near the control panel or onto the heating

plate, allow the rice cooker to dry completely before using. Any other

servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Note: Both the cooking bowl and glass lid are dishwasher safe.

STORING

Make sure that the appliance is thoroughly cool and dry. Never wrap the cord

tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled. Placing the lid on upside-

down for storage can help save space.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

RICE TIPS

• If rice or other foods start to boil over, remove the lid and stir for a couple

minutes. Leaving the lid off for a short period of time will allow some of the

liquids to boil off and for the mixture to slightly cool. Place the lid back on the

rice cooker and repeat if needed. Adding a small amount (1 Tbs.) of butter or

oil to water before cooking will help prevent this issue from occurring.

• Kosher salt has no impurities and dissolves faster than table salt. If using

kosher salt, you may ﬁnd you want to add a little more than if using table

salt. About ¾ tsp. of kosher salt is recommended for each rice cup (5 ﬂuid

oz.) of uncooked rice.

• Uncooked white rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark

place for up to one year.

• Uncooked brown rice can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark

place for up to six months. Refrigeration or freezing extends its shelf life.

• Try using broth, stock, or reconstituted bouillon in place of water for

additional ﬂavor. If you do, no additional salt may be necessary.

• Do not keep small amounts of rice in the warm cycle for extended periods

of time because it can dry out the rice.
