Operation Methods
-
Measure the desired amount of rice with the measuring cup supplied. Rinse the rice several times until the water in the bowl is relatively clear. Put rice and water into the cooking pot.
- The measuring cup is mainly used for measuring rice; one cup of rice weighs 0.18 L. (approximately 150g).
- Be sure not to rinse rice directly in the cooking pot to avoid damaging the non-stick coating, or deforming the cooking pot, which may affect its perfect contact with the heater plate.
-
Put rice into the cooking pot and add water to the corresponding level.
- Water levels correspond to liters of rice and cups of rice are marked on the right side and left side of the cooking pot respectively.
- Water levels marked on the cooking pot are for reference only. Water level can be adjusted according to rice type and preference.
-
Wipe up any spilled water and ensure the outside of the cooking pot is completely dry. Install the pot into the cooker. Make sure that the pot has direct contact with the heating plate by turning it slightly from right to left until it fits the heating plate properly.
- Be sure not to put the cooking pot onto other ovens for heating, otherwise it will deform because of the high temperature
- The non-stick cooking pot meets food hygienic standards and is safe to use.
-
Attach the power cord to the cooker body and plug into wall outlet.
- Any time this rice cooker is plugged in and the switch is not immediately set for cooking, the warming circuit is operating.
- Do not plug cord in until you are ready to cook.
-
Press on/off button, and the rice cooker will start to cook.
-
When water in the cooker runs out, a “click” sound will be heard, and the keep warm light will turn on indicating the rice cooker is in automatic “keep warm” state.
- After cooking cycle ends, keep the lid closed for about 10-15 minutes to allow the rice to be thoroughly cooked. This is an important process to cook fluffy and tasty rice.
- The keep warm cycle will continue to operate automatically until the AC cord is removed from the wall outlet.
-
When steaming food, the cooking/steaming time is determined by the amount of water added. It is best to steam the food after the water in the cooking pot is extracted.
Operation Methods -
Unplug, take out the cooking pot or food before serving.
-
Always use the supplied plastic rice spoon. Do not use a metal spoon in order to avoid scraping the non-stick coating of the cooking pot.
