HOW TO USE

COOKING RICE

You’ll have excellent results using this guideline. For your convenience, the inner pot features water measurement lines inside. We have also provided a handy cup that is designed to measure rice and water.

Using the measuring cup provided in the package, measure and add rice to the inner pot. One full-level measure equals one cup.
You may choose any one of the following ways to add water for cooking:
By measuring cup, add proper amount of water to the rice inside the inner pot. (See measurement chart).
By waterline, add water to the rice inside the inner pot up to the proper waterline.
Example: for 3 cups of uncooked rice, add water to line 3.
For softer rice, we suggest preparing rice and water in the inner pot and let it soak for 10-20 minutes before cooking.
Replace lid on cooker and plug in power cord.
Plug in power cord. Do not plug in until ready to cook. Otherwise, rice may be spoiled. If pot is not in cooker, cooking will not begin.
Press the power switch next to the power cord On “I”. Then press the “COOK” switch on the front of the cooker. The indicator illuminates when cooking has started.
When rice is done, the switch will automatically pop up. After the switch pops up, leave covered for at least 15 minutes to steam rice. The “KEEP WARM” feature operates whenever the cord is plugged in and the power switch is On (I).
Press the power switch Off “O” and unplug after each use. Grasp the plug, not the cord.
After cooking it is important to allow rice to stand, for 5-10 minutes without removing lid. This will ensure that rice is cooked through.
Brown rice will take longer to cook. We suggest adding an additional 3/4-cup of water to accommodate the proper cooking time.

Helpful Hints :

You may rinse rice to remove excess bran and starch. This will help to reduce rice browning and sticking to the bottom of your pot after cooking, but it may also lose some nutrients in the rice.
Remember: Place rice to your inner pot first and then add water before cooking.
If you have experienced any sticking due to the type of rice you choose, try adding a light coating of vegetable oil to the bottom of inner pot before placing rice.
When cooking brown or wild rice, add 3/4 additional cup of water.
As there are many different kinds of rice available, rice/water measurement might be slightly different by using different kind of rice. Remember to make the adjustment to get the better result.
Notes: Always use the Measuring Cup coming together with your Rice Cooker/Steamer; otherwise fill the water to the bottom of the waterline.

SOUPS AND STEWS

A hearty bowl of soup or stew is always welcome at any table. Be creative and use various leftover meats and vegetables with your favorite stock and create your own unique recipes. When preparing soup or stew, try to allow extra time for it to “simmer”. This will allow flavors to blend and meat to be tenderer.

Helpful Hints

To thicken your stew, mix 1/4-cup flour with enough cold water to form a thin paste. Gradually add it to the stew and stir till thickened.
If using fresh parsley or herbs in your recipe, add them in the last few moments of cooking to preserve flavor.
Save any leftovers for the next day. The flavors increase overnight in your refrigerator.
Canned stewed tomatoes or water with bouillon seasoning and spices added make great stock starters for soups and stews.

CLEANING

Before cleaning your rice cooker, always unplug and allow cooling.

Remove the inner pot and lid from the rice cooker and wash then in hot sudsy water. Rinses completely, then dry with a soft clean cloth.
Clean the outside of your cooker when necessary with a clean damp cloth or with a mild dish detergent. NEVER use abrasive cleaners. Do not use any metal tools or steel wool on the outside finish or on cooking pot as they may cause damage. DO NOT SUBMERGE ANY PART OF THE RICE COOKER BODY IN WATER.
To clean the heating plate and thermo-control plate, use steel wool to polish or remove any residue. Then wipe with a damp cloth. Allow drying completely before re-using. You must keep the heating plate and thermo-control plate free from any foreign objects; otherwise the cooker will not operate properly.
Any residue of vinegar or salt may cause your inner pot to corrode. Always clean completely after each use.
ANY SERVICING OTHER THAN CLEANING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE.

Quick Cleaning Tip

Add 1/2 cup of water and a small amount of liquid dish or dishwasher detergent to inner pot. Press the switch to COOK and allow heating for 10 minutes. RINSE WELL and DRY COMPLETELY BEFORE RE-USING.
