Before First Use

Read all instructions and important safeguards.
Remove all packaging materials and check that all items have been received in good condition.
Tear up all plastic bags and dispose of them properly as they can pose a risk to children.
Remove the nonstick inner pot from the cooker and clean with warm, soapy water.
Wash all accessories in warm, soapy water.
Wipe the cooker’s body clean with a damp cloth.
Dry all parts thoroughly then assemble for use.

To Clean

Remove the inner pot when the cooker has completely cooled.
Hand wash the inner pot and all accessories using warm, soapy water or place on the top rack of the dishwasher.
Remove the condensation collector and hand wash using warm, soapy water.
Wipe the cooker’s body clean with a damp cloth.
Thoroughly dry the cooker’s body and all accessories. Reassemble for next use.

Troubleshooting

Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.

Depending on how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir thoroughly. Close the lid and select the Rice function once more. When the cooker switches to Keep Warm, open the lid and stir the rice to check the consistency. Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and moist.

Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.

Use the serving spatula to stir the rice to redistribute the bottom (moist) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Close the lid and allow the cooker to remain on Keep Warm for 10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid and stirring periodically to release excess moisture.

Caution:

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or products that are not considered safe to use on nonstick coatings.
We recommend hand washing the inner pot with warm, soapy water to lengthen its lifespan and avoid damage over time. If washing in a dishwasher, a slight discoloration to the inner pot may occur. This is cosmetic and will not negatively affect performance.
Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, check that the inner pot is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the cooker.

Note:

To remove the condensation collector, squeeze both sides and pull out towards you.
Any other servicing should be performed by Aroma® Housewares.

We recommend beginning to steam your foods towards the end of the rice cooking cycle. This will allow steamed food and cooked grains to be ready around the same time. See “Rice/Grain & Water Measurement Table” on page 15 for approximate cooking times.

Meat & Vegetable

Steaming Tables

Meat Steaming Time| Safe Internal Temperature

Helpful Hints:

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.
To ensure meat tastes its best and to prevent food-borne illness, check that the meat is completely cooked prior to serving. If the meat is still uncooked, simply add more water to the inner pot and repeat the steaming process until the meat is adequately cooked.
