Operating Instructions
1. Using the measuring cup provided, measure out the desired amount of rice. One full, level cup of
uncooked rice will yield 2 cups of cooked rice. The measuring cup provided adheres to rice industry
standards 6 oz. (180 ml) and is not equal to one U.S. cup 8.11 oz. (240 ml).
2. Rinse rice in a separate container until the water becomes relatively clear; drain.
3. Place rinsed rice in the inner pot.
4. Using the measuring cup provided and add the appropriate amount of water. See the “Cooking
Guide” for suggested rice/water ratios.
NOTE: To add an extra dimension of avor to rice, try substituting a favorite variety of meat or
vegetable broth or stock. The ratio of broth/stock to rice will be the same as water to rice.
5. Making sure that the exterior of the inner pot is clean, dry and free of debris; set the inner pot into
the rice cooker. Place the lid securely into place on top of the rice cooker and plug the power cord
into a wall outlet.
6. To begin cooking, press the cook switch. The cooking mode indicator light will illuminate. Once
cooking is complete, the rice cooker will automatically switch to “Keep-Warm” mode.
NOTE: For softer rice, allow rice to soak for 10-20 minutes prior to cooking.
7. Once the rice has nished cooking, remove the lid and use the rice paddle to stir the rice.
This will release excess moisture and give the rice a ufer texture. Then, replace the lid and
allow the unit to remain on “Keep-Warm” mode for 5-10 minutes. This will ensure optimal rice
texture and moisture level.
8. To turn off the rice cooker, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
WARNING: The rice cooker will remain on “Keep-Warm” until it is unplugged from the power outlet.
It is not recommended to leave rice on “Keep-Warm” mode for more than 3 hours.
NOTE: To avoid a loss of steam and prevent longer cooking times, do not open or remove the lid at
any point during the cooking process.
Inner Pot Water Measurement Lines
The water lines in the inner pot may be used to measure the correct amount of water for rice.
Be sure to add the desired amount of rice rst. Then ll the inner pot with water to the
corresponding line in the inner pot (i.e. 2 cups of uncooked rice would be lled to line 2 in the
inner pot). This is a quick and easy method to achieve perfect rice results.
The inner pot water lines are intended for white rice only. Due to the extra layers of bran on whole
grain brown rice, it requires more water. See the “Cooking Guide” for suggested rice/water ratios.
