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.

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

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

the appliance when not in use and always allow the rice cooker to
completely cool before cleaning.
