Before First Use

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

To Clean

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

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.
• Not satisfied with your Aroma® purchase? Our product experts can help! Before returning, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-276-6286 for product support, helpful tips and more!

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.

• Because rice varieties may vary in their make-up, results may differ.
• Food should not be left in the cooker on Keep Warm for more than 24 hours.
• For best results, we recommend rinsing rice and grains in a bowl of water before cooking. Avoid using a strainer or colander, which may not be as effective in removing excess starch and may affect the final texture.

Helpful Hints:
If you misplace the measuring cup, a ¾ standard U.S. cup is an exact replacement. To add more flavor to rice, try substituting water for a favorite meat or vegetable broth or stock. The ratio of broth/stock to rice will be the same as water to rice. For approximate rice cooking times and suggested rice/water ratios, see “Rice/Grain & Water Measurement Table” on page 15.

Caution:
Do not attempt to cook more than 6 cups of uncooked rice when steaming and cooking simultaneously. Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, check that it is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the cooker.

Helpful Hints:
Parchment paper or aluminum foil may also be used while steaming. Place the paper/foil in the center of the steam tray and ensure it does not create a seal along the bottom of the tray. 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.

Steam & Cook

1. To steam foods while cooking grains, begin cooking grain by following steps 1 through 7 of “Rice & Grain” on page 7.
2. Place the desired food into the provided steam tray. Open the lid using caution, lower the steam tray into the cooker then close the lid securely.
3. Cook food according to “Meat & Vegetable Steaming Tables” on page 11.
4. After the suggested amount of time has elapsed, open the lid to check steamed food for doneness. Use caution when opening the lid as hot steam will escape.
5. If food is finished steaming, remove the steam tray. Wear a protective heat-resistant glove to prevent injury as the steam tray will be hot.

7. Once the cycle has completed, the cooker will beep and automatically switch to Keep Warm.
8. When finished, turn the cooker off by pressing ( ****)/Start twice and unplug the power cord.

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.

Grain & Water Measurement Table

Note:

• Do not place more than 10 cups of uncooked rice into the inner pot at one time. The maximum capacity of this unit is 10 cups of uncooked rice which yields 20 cups of cooked rice.
• When cooking barley, you must use the Delay Timer for 4 hours in combination with the Grains function. The additional soaking time will ensure optimal flavor and texture. For best results when cooking barley or bulgur, let both grains sit on Keep Warm for 10 minutes before serving.
• If softer grains are desired, add an additional 1/2 cup of water or liquid.
