SAVE
THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
This appliance is supplied with a short power cord to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in
or
tripping over. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised
in
their use. If an extension cord is
used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and a longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children
or
tripped over unintentionally.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug was designed to
fit
into a polarized outlet in only one direction. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, do not attempt to force it
or
modify it
in
any way. Simply reverse the plug and
insert. If it still does not
fit,
contact a qualified electrician.

-
Do not clean the rice
or
adjust the amount
of
water using hot water (95°F/35°C
or
above).
Doing so
will
cause the rice to be cooked improperly.
• Adjust the amount of water accordingly
Type of Rice Water Adjustment
White rice with germ Normal scale level
New crop Reduce water slightly from the normal level
Old crop Add a little water to the normal
level**
*To
avoid boil-over, use the SOFTER menu setting when adding
water above the normal scale level.
• Do not use strongly alkalized ionic water
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.

• This illustration shows the Inner

model.
• Stir and loosen rice immediately after cooking has completed
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.
HOW TO USE THE KEEP WARM MODE
• When keeping rice
in
the Inner Cooking Pan for later consumption, use the Keep Warm
mode.
•The
rice may develop a foul
odor
if the Keep Warm mode is cancelled
or
if left in an unplugged Rice Cooker.
• To prevent the rice from becoming dry, wet, develop an odor or
turn yellow, do not use the Keep Warm mode for the following:
Gather rice
in
center
@
•Keeping
a small amount
of
rice warm for long hours.
•Keeping
rice warm for more than
12
hours in Regular Keep Warm mode
(24 hours in Extended Keep Warm mode).
•Adding
rice.
•Reheating
cold rice.
•Keeping
rice warm when it contains additional ingredients and seasonings (mixed rice
or
sweet rice).
•Keeping
foods other than rice warm such as croquette
or
miso soup.
•Keeping
rice warm with the Spatula left inside the Rice Cooker.
• 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.

ACTIVATED
BROWN
RICE
(GABA
BROWN)
• This Rice Cooker has two settings for cooking brown rice. The GABA BROWN setting on the menu activates brown
rice for increased nutritional value.
GABA BROWN SETTING
When GABA BROWN is selected on the menu, the Rice Cooker will begin activating the brown rice, after which
it will start cooking automatically. During the brown rice activation process, the temperature in the Inner Cooking
Pan is kept at approx. 104°F (approx. 40°C) for approx. 2 hours. Cooking will take longer to complete.
➔
See "Estimated Cooking Time" on pg. 11.
By activating brown rice, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)*, a naturally occurring nutrient in brown rice,
increases to 150% of the amount contained in non-activated brown rice. This process also makes brown rice
softer, thus making it readily edible.
*
What is GABA? GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a type of amino acid said to lower blood pressure
and relieve stress.
