1. MEASURING THE RICE
   Use the measuring cup provided. Each cup of uncooked plain rice normally can produce about 2 bowls of cooked rice.

2. WASH RICE BEFORE COOKING
   Before cooking, wash the rice thoroughly under cold running water to remove starch. Use a colander or fine sieve for this. DO NOT use the inner pot of the Rice cooker as you may damage the non-stick coating of the pot. If this occurs it may result in unsatisfactory cooking.
   NOTE: Drier and fluffier rice is obtained by washing rice first.

   Refer to the table below for indication.

   • For softer, fluffier rice – add a little more water.
   • For firmer, crunchier rice – reduce a little water
   • For the first few times, you may need to experiment with slight variations in the relative proportions of rice to water.
   • In order to achieve results best suited to your personal taste.
