Cooking rice

5. Place the lid securely onto the rice cooker.
6. Plug in the rice cooker, then press the COOK switch. The Cook indicator turns on and the rice begins cooking.

HELPFUL HINTS

Note: These steaming charts are for reference only. Actual cooking times may vary.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process. Opening the lid causes a loss of heat and steam, resulting in a slower cooking time. If you need to open the lid, add a small amount of water to help restore the cooking time.
•  Altitude, humidity, and outside temperature affect cooking times.
• Frozen vegetables take longer to cook.
• Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no need to increase the amount of water with a larger serving of vegetables.
