Add drained rice to cooking pot. Repeat rinsing with any remaining rice.

If using Multi-Cooker to cook rice, cereal, or grain:

1. Add desired amount of uncooked rice to cooking pot; then fill with water to corresponding water line.

Program functions
Five functions have preprogrammed cycles with a default cooking time that cannot be adjusted.

If actual cooking time is longer than the default, the program holds for a time and then counts down until finished cooking.
The Multi-Cooker automatically switches to WARM when done cooking and will keep warm up to 12 hours.

Eight functions can be adjusted to the time you desire.
After selecting function, press and hold the function button to start time.

The cooker automatically switches to WARM when done cooking and will keep warm up to 12 hours.
