PARTS IDENTIFICATION
BEFORE INITIAL USAGE
To burn away oil/grease on the main-body interior (inner pan), boil water for about 30 minutes.
- Fill the inner pan with water and set it onto the main body.
- Fill water to about half-level of the inner pan.
- Set to Cook-rice

- About 30 minutes later, turn off the switch.
- Push the cooking switch upward to the top level.

HOW TO USE
-
Measure the desired amount of rice with the enclosed “measuring cup” supplied with this rice cooker. One cup of uncooked rice will be equivalent to 3 cups of cooked rice.
-
Rinse the rice in a separate bowl (several times) until the rinse water becomes clear.
Note: Rice suppliers advise not to rinse the rice too thoroughly before cooking. Vitamins may be lost in this process. -
Lay the cooking sheet on the bottom of the inner pan. lf there is wrinkles on a cooking sheet, it can be the cause of unevenly cooked rice. Also, the unplayed section may cause scorched-rice.
-
Add the desired amount of rice and water to the pan.
- For example: lf 15 cups of rice are added to the pan, water should be added until the water line reaches approximately the number “15 level” of the scale (illustrated on the inside of the pan). Helpful Hint An important point to remember is the “Scale” O.180/3I4cup illustrated on the inside of the pan. An important illustration to follow. The amount of water depends on personal preference. More water makes fluffy rice. Less water makes firmer rice.
-
Place the pan into the cooker. Be sure, the pan is in direct contact with the sensor. This is done by turning the pan from left to right until it is properly situated.
- !f the outside of the pan is “wet” or “damp” and then placed into the cooker, this may cause a cracking noise while the unit heats. This may damage the inner mechanical portion of the product, ALWAYS wipe the outside of the pan completely before use!
-
Place the inner lid on the outer lid by pressing the inner lid to cover the inner lid shaft.
-
To close the outer lid, simply lower the lid latch which engages the lid catch to “click”. If the outer lid is not closed properly, this will affect the cooking process.
-
Attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet.
- Do not plug the AC cord in until the actual cooking is ready to begin. When this rice cooker is plugged in, although the switch is not immediately activated (for cooking), the warming circuit will be in operation.
-
Press the switch button down (a “click” sound will be heard). The rice cooking light will turn on, this indicates that the rice is starting to cook.
-
When the rice has completed its cooking time, the switch button will pop up. (You will hear a “click” sound) At the same time, the rice cooking light will go out, and the keep warm light will go on. This indicates the “keep warm” feature is working.
- The switch button should not be pressed into the cook position during the keep warm cycle.
-
When the switch button has turned off “the rice cooking cycle”, the “keep warm cycle” activates. Cooking is actually continuing by steaming.

-
After the rice has been boiled and steamed properly, simply push the lid release button and open the outer lid. Do not forget to loosen the cooked rice with the rice scoop!
“keep warm cycle” will continue automatically (after the cook cycle) until the AC cord is removed from the wall outlet, In order to stop the keep warm cycle, remove the AC cord.- While serving, be sure to keep the rim of the pan free of rice.
