Using the rice cooker

Before first use

Take out all the accessories from the inner pot. Remove the packaging material of the inner pot.
Clean the parts of the rice cooker thoroughly before using the rice cooker for the first time (see chapter 'Cleaning').

Note
Make sure all parts are completely dry before you start using the rice cooker.

Preparations before use

Before using the rice cooker, you need to follow the preparation:

Measure the rice using the measuring cup provided (Fig. 1).
Wash the rice thoroughly (Fig. 2).
Put the pre-washed rice in the inner pot.
Add water to the level indicated on the scale inside the inner pot that corresponds to the number of cups of rice used (Fig. 3). Then smooth the rice surface.
Press the lid release button to open the lid (Fig. 4).
Wipe the outside of the inner pot dry (Fig. 5), then put the inner pot in the rice cooker (Fig. 6). Check if the inner pot is in proper contact with the heating element.
Close the lid of the rice cooker (Fig. 7), put the plug in the power socket (Fig. 8).

Note

Each cup of uncooked rice normally gives 3 cups of cooked rice. Do not exceed the quantities indicated on the inside of the inner pot.
The level marked inside the inner pot is just an indication. You can always adjust the water level for different types of rice and your own preference. If the voltage is unstable at the area you live, it is possible that the rice cooker overflows.
Besides following the water level indications, you can also add rice and water at 1:1-1.2 ratio for rice cooking. Do not exceed the quantities indicated on the inside of the inner pot.
Use a separate container to wash the rice to avoid damaging the non-stick coating of the inner pot.
Make sure that the outside of the inner pot is dry and clean, and that there is no foreign residue on the heating element or the magnetic switch.

Cooking Rice

Follow the steps in "Preparations before use".
Press down the Cook/Warm button, and the cooking indicator lights up red (Fig. 9).
The rice cooker switches to the keep warm mode automatically, and cooking indicator will light up green.

Note

Do not exceed the volume indicated nor exceed the maximum water level indicated in the inner pot, as this may cause the rice cooker to overflow.
Do not open the lid right after the rice cooker enters the keep-warm mode and ensure that rice is in keep-warm mode for 15 minutes if you cook much rice.
In order to ensure the best taste of rice, it is suggested to cook with a maximum of 10 cups of rice, 11 or more cups of rice may potentially cause negative impact on taste due to different rice types.
