Note:

• Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, check that the inner pot is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the cooker.
• We recommend hand washing the inner pot with warm, soapy water to lengthen its lifespan and avoid damage over time. If washing in a dishwasher, a slight discoloration to the inner pot may occur.

Troubleshooting

Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.

• If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker switches to Warm, additional water and cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1 cup of water using the provided large 900mL measuring cup and stir thoroughly. Place the lid on and initiate another cooking cycle. When the cooker switches to Warm mode, remove the lid and stir the rice to check the consistency.
  Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and moist.

Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.

• If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the cooker switches to Warm, use the serving spatula to stir the rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moist) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Place the lid on and allow the rice to remain on Warm mode for 10-30 minutes as needed, removing the lid and stirring periodically to release excess moisture.

Internal Errors

If an internal error occurs, the following chart will help explain the next course of action.

The rice cooker will not switch to Warm mode until all liquid has evaporated. Follow your recipe carefully and do not leave the rice cooker unattended.

Note:

• Food should not be left in the cooker on Warm mode for more than 12 hours.
• Rinse rice before placing it into the inner pot to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning and sticking to the bottom of the pot.

White & Brown Rice

1. Using the provided measuring cup(s), add white or brown rice to the inner pot.
2. Rinse to remove excess starch. Drain.
3. For white rice, fill the inner pot with water to the line that matches the number of cups of uncooked rice added. For brown rice, refer to the "Rice & Water Measurement Table"
4. Lower the inner pot into the cooker then place the lid on securely.
5. Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC wall outlet. The unit will be powered on once plugged into an outlet.
6. Press Mode to begin cooking. The cook indicator light will illuminate as the cooker begins to heat.
7. When rice is ready, the cooker will automatically switch to Warm mode and the warm indicator light will illuminate.
8. For best results, stir the rice with the provided serving spatula to distribute any remaining moisture
9. When finished serving, press the () button and unplug the power cord to turn the rice cooker off.

Helpful Hints:
To add more flavor to rice, try substituting meat or vegetable broth for water. The ratio of broth/stock to rice will be the same as water to rice.
The provided 900mL rice measuring tumbler is equivalent to 5 conventional 180mL rice measuring cups, or 3 3⁄4 standard U.S. cups.

Rice & Water

Measurement Table

*Cups referenced are with the included small 180mL measuring cup (1 Small 180mL Measuring Cup = 3/4 U.S. Cup)

1 large 900mL measuring cup = 5 small 180mL measuring cups

Note:

• Rinse rice before cooking it to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning and sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Cooking times are approximate. Altitude, humidity, and external temperature will affect cooking time.
• The minimum amount of rice this unit can prepare is 15 rice measuring cups of uncooked rice. Do not attempt to cook less than 15 cups of uncooked white or brown rice to prevent damaging the cooker.
• Do not place more than 30 rice measuring cups of uncooked rice (20 cups of brown rice) into this appliance at one time. The maximum capacity of this unit is 30 rice measuring cups of uncooked rice (20 cups of brown rice) which yields 60 cups of cooked rice (40 cups of brown rice).
• Brown rice takes longer to cook and requires more water than white rice due to the extra bran layers on the grains.The water lines in the inner pot are meant for white rice only.
  Please see the chart above for brown rice to water ratios.
