Rice Measuring Cup and Rice Paddle in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry well. If the outside of the Inner Pot is wet when placed into the Rice Cooker, this may cause a cracking noise while the unit heats up. Also, this may cause damage to the inner working of the appliance, so always wipe the outside of the Inner Pot completely dry before use.
(If you are making 10 cups of dry rice, add water to the “10” mark in the inside of the Inner Pot.) 4. Replace the Inner Pot back into the Automatic Rice Cooker’s Heating Body. Rotate it slightly to make sure that it is well seated on the Heating Plate.

Why Rice? Grains (including rice) are finally getting the attention they deserve as they move into the nutritional spotlight. The new USDA dietary recommendations highlight grains as an essential part of a healthy, whole foods diet. With their impressive fiber, complex carbohydrates and protein profiles, they are, without a doubt, some of Mother Nature’s most perfect foods.
1. Clean and prepare your vegetables. Cut vegetables into bite-sized pieces. 2. Place the Inner Pot into the Rice Cooker Body. Be sure the Inner Pot is seated properly. Measure appropriate amount of water and add to Inner Pot (see water measurements/time following).
Steaming Food 8. When your food has reached the desired doneness, raise the Rice Cooking Selector Lever to ON/WARM and unplug after use. * When using the Steamer Insert while cooking rice, it is important that you DO NOT remove the Stainless Steel Lid during the rice cooking process.
