COOKING RICE
1. Measuring rice.
Use the provided 180 cc (about
6 oz.) cup for measuring
rice. Make sure that
the rice is leveled
when the cup
is filled.
2. Washing rice before cooking.
Wash rice thoroughly in
a separate bowl until the
water becomes
relatively clear. Avoid
using the Inner Pot to
wash rice as it may damage the Inner
Pot.
3. Adding water.
Place the washed
rice into the Inner
Pot and then add
water in accordance
with the amount of
rice. For example, to cook 3 cups of
rice, fill the Inner Pot with water up to
the number 3 level marker.
Adjust water quantity depending on
the rice and your own preference.
Use the Rice and Water Chart (on
page 8) as a guideline for the amount
of water to use when cooking various
types of rice.
4. Place the Inner Pot into the
cooker.
Make sure that the Inner and Outer
Pots are clean and completely dry and
that there are no foreign objects
inside the cooker.
Turn the Inner Pot
back and forth a few
times to make sure it
sits evenly on the
heating plate.
5. Cover the Inner Pot with the Lid.
Make sure that the rice is distributed
evenly in the Inner Pot for even
cooking.
