Cooking rice

1 Measure the rice using the measuring cup provided.
Each cup of uncooked rice normally gives 2 bowls of cooked rice. Do not exceed the quantities
indicated on the inside of the inner pot.
- HD4702: 3-10 cups of rice
- HD4706: 1-5.5 cups of rice
 Wash the rice thoroughly.
Use a separate container to wash the rice to avoid damaging the non-stick coating of the inner pot.
 Pour the pre-washed rice into the inner pot.
 Add water to the level indicated on the scale inside the pot that corresponds to the number
of cups of rice used. Then smooth the rice surface.
For instance, if you cook 4 cups of rice, add water up to the 4-cup level indicated on the scale.
