since it is not intended to be an indicator of cooking time for soups and

stews.

OPERATING YOUR RICE COOKER

COOKING RICE

Use the brown rice setting to cook brown rice. Use the white rice setting to

cook white rice and other types of grains.

1. Measure desired amount of rice with the provided measuring cup and

add to the cooking bowl. See cooking chart in the Helpful Hints section

for rice and water ratios.

NOTE: When measuring uncooked rice; do not use a standard 1 cup (8 fluid

oz.) measuring cup. A standard rice cup is ¾ cup (6 fluid oz.); the same size

as the provided rice measuring cup. One rice cup measure of dry rice will

yield 2 standard cups of cooked rice.

2. Rinse the rice with water to remove any excess starch and then drain.

3. Fill the cooking bowl with water to the line that matches the number of

rice cups being cooked. Add butter, oil, or seasonings as desired. See the

cooking chart in the Helpful Hints section for additional details on water

and rice measures for different types of rice and grains.

NOTE: There are separate water marking lines for white and brown rice. For best

results, use the water marking lines that correspond to the rice being cooked.

4. Place the cooking pot into the cooking base and then place the lid on

the pot.

5. Plug in the appliance; the function lights and dashes on the display will

blink, indicating that the unit is in standby mode. Select the desired

rice setting by pressing the Menu button until the light to the left of the

setting illuminates.

6. Press the Start/Stop button and the White or Brown Rice light will turn

solid and the display screen dashes will begin rotating. This means

the appliance is cooking. When the rice is about 5 minutes from being

finished, the display will show the minute countdown.

7. When the rice is ready, the rice cooker will switch to Keep Warm and the

display will start counting up the hours for up to 4 hours.

8. For best results, allow the rice to rest on warm for 15 minutes with the lid

in place. This will help further steam the rice. Always stir the rice with the

serving spoon before serving.

9. To turn the rice cooker off, press the Start/Stop button. Unplug

the appliance when not in use and always allow the rice cooker to

completely cool before cleaning.

NOTE: If using Rice function for soups or stews always use a kitchen timer.

Do not rely on the appliance in this function to switch to keep warm since it

is not intended to be an indicator of cooking time for soups and stews.
