to persons, do not immerse cord, plug or the
appliance in water or any other liquid.
5. Close supervision is necessary when the
appliance is used by or near children.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow unit to cool before putting on
or taking off parts and before cleaning
the appliance.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Return appliance to the nearest
authorized service facility for examination,
repair or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by appliance manufacturer may
result in fire, electrical shock or injury.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord touch hot surfaces or hang
over the edge of a counter or table.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric
burner or in a heated oven.
12. Do not use the appliance for other than
its intended use.
13. Extreme caution must be used when moving
the appliance containing rice, hot oil or
other liquids.
14. Do not touch, cover or obstruct the steam vent
on the top of the rice cooker as it is extremely
hot and may cause scalding.
15. Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.
16. Always unplug from the base of the wall
outlet. Never pull on the cord.
17. The rice cooker should be operated on
a separate electrical circuit from other

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords may be used if
care is exercised. If a long extension cord
is used, the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance,
and the 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 animals or tripped over. If the
appliance is of the grounded type, the
eextension cord should be a grounding
3-wire cord.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded while

Note
• Brown rice requires a longer cooking
cycle than other rice varieties due to
the extra bran layers on the grains. The
Brown rice function allows extra time and
adjusted heat settings in order to cook
the rice properly. If it appears the Carb-
Reducing Rice Cooker is not heating up
immediately when cooking brown rice,
this is due to a low-heat soak cycle that
precedes the cooking cycle to produce
better brown rice results.
• Before placing the Inner Pot into Carb-
Reducing Rice Cooker, check that the
outside is dry and free of debris. Adding
the Inner Pot when wet may damage the
Carb-Reducing Rice Cooker

QUICK TIPS
• 1 measuring cup is about 2/3 U.S. cup.
(Note Measuring Cup is included with unit.)
• This chart is only a general measuring guide.
As there are many types of rice available,
rice/water measurements may vary.
• Rinse rice prior to cooking to remove
excess bran and starch. This will help
reduce browning.
• To get perfect brown rice without the wait use
the Delay Timer. Add rice and water in the
morning and set the Delay Timer for when
rice will be needed that night.
• For quinoa and steel cut oats, use caution
to avoid escaping steam, open the Lid and
stir occasionally with a long-handled
wooden spoon.
• Default time is the preset function time, adjust
as per your preference using + or - . Please
refer to cooking time in chart.
• For better taste and textured oats, let oats sit
for 5-10 minutes after cooking.
• If Rice or Grains are slightly underdone after
your cooking function is completed. Let this sit
on keep warm until desired texture is reached
STORAGE
Ensure the Carb-Reducing Rice Cooker is cool
and dry before storing. Secure power cord
with twist tie.

LOW CARB
RICE TESTING
Objective
To test for the reduction of starch in rice
varietals when using the Low Carb Modes of
the Rice Cooker.
Samples
5 separate Rice types were used including Long
Grain White, Long Grain Brown, Thai Rice,
Japanese Rice and Short Grain White Rice.
A total of 2 GreenPan Rice and Grain Cooker
with Carb Reducing Technology were used in
the testing.
• Quantity = 2, 8 Cup Capacity Machines
Laboratory
Testing was conducted by:
STC Guangdong Company Limited No.68,
Fumin South Road, Dalang, Donngguan,
Giangdon, China
Procedure
Samples of rice were cooked by the traditional
method using the White Rice and Brown
Rice modes and compared to samples of rice
cooked with the stainless-steel carb reducing
insert using the Low Carb White Rice and Low
Carb Brown Rice modes.
All tests used tap water unless otherwise
specified.
Cooked rice samples are analyzed for
their resistant starch by “Official Methods
of Analysis of AOAC International (2005),
18th Ed., AOAC International, Gaithersburg,
Maryland, USA, Official Method 2002.02”
and digestible starch by “Official Methods of
Analysis of AOAC International (2005), 18th
ED, AOAC International, Gaithersburg, MD,
USA, Official Method 996.11 (mod.)”
Results in percent reduction of digestible
starches are provided.
Conclusion
Using the Low Carb cooking method can
reduce the carbs in cooked rice by up to 37%.
