COOKING RICE
1. Measure desired amount of rice to be cooked using rice
measure provided; do not use standard 1 cup measuring
cup (A). (The rice measure provided holds 2 /
3
cup uncooked
rice - about 5.5 oz. or 150 grams.) This rice cooker can
cook up to 25 measures of uncooked rice and yield a
maximum of about 50, 8 oz. cups of cooked rice.
2. Place rice in the cooking bowl.
NOTE: Use only the cooking bowl provided with this appliance
to cook rice.
3. Using the water level markings on the inside of the cooking bowl as a guide, add the
amount of water that matches the number of measures of rice to be cooked. For
example, if preparing 15 measures of rice, add water to 15 cup water level mark.
Adding too much water may make the appliance boil over.
4. Add butter or oil and desired seasonings.
NOTE: The first time you prepare rice use the handy rice cooking chart included in the
Use and Care on pages 6 and 7. For softer, fluffy rice add a little more water; for rice
that is more firm and has a drier texture add a little less water.
5. Before placing cooking bowl into rice cooker, be sure the heating plate and outside
surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Avoid having rice kernels or other
foods fall into the rice cooker.
6. Insert cooking bowl into rice cooker.
7. Place lid on the cooking bowl. For best results always keep lid on while cooking.
NOTE: As rice cooks, steam will escape through the vents in the
lid (B). Place lid on rice cooker so vents are facing away from
cabinets and walls. Do not place hands over steam vents while
rice is cooking or has finished cooking; the hot steam may burn.
8. Uncoil cord and plug into standard electrical outlet. The
KEEP WARM indicator light comes on.
9. Press down the switch. The COOK indicator light comes
on and cooking begins. As the rice cooks and expands, steam
comes out through the steam vents on the lid.
10. When rice is cooked, the COOK indicator light turns off and the switch pops up;
the rice cooker automatically switches to the KEEP WARM function. The KEEP WARM
indicator light will stay on until the appliance is unplugged.
NOTE: Do not try to stop the rice cooker from switching to the KEEP WARM mode. Do
not try to press the switch once the KEEP WARM cycle has begun.
11. For best results, let the cooked rice rest for 15 minutes, covered, to further steam
the rice. If holding cooked rice longer than 30 minutes, stir rice occasionally to
prevent browning of rice on the bottom of the cook bowl. Just before serving, remove
lid and fluff rice.
