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. Tearup all plastic bags and dispose of them properly as they can pose a risk to children.
  4. Remove steam vent on the underside of lid, condensation collector and inner pot from the rice cooker. Wash these and all other accessories in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
  5. Return all parts to the rice cooker.
  6. Wipe cooker body clean with a damp cloth.

TO CLEAN

  1. Clean the lid only when cooker has completely cooled.
  2. Soak the inner pot and all accessories or wash them in the top rack of the dishwasher.
  3. Wipe the lid and the rice cooker’s body clean with a damp cloth.
  4. Thoroughly dry cooker body, lid and all accessories. Reassemble for next use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

  • Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
    If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the cooker switches to Keep Warm, additional water and cooking time will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir through. Close the lid and switch to Rice. When cooker switches to Keep Warm mode, 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.
    If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the cooker switches to Keep Warm, use the serving spatula to stir the rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moistest) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture.
    Close the lid and allow to remain on Keep Warm mode for 10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid and stirring periodically to release excess moisture.

Note:

  • Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or products that are not considered safe to use on nonstick coatings.
  • If washing in the dishwasher, a slight discoloration to the inner pot and accessories may occur. This is only cosmetic and will not affect performance.
  • Any other servicing should be performed by Aroma® Housewares.
  • Different types of rice may vary in their make-up, results may differ.

Helpful Hints:
The provided rice cooker cup is the equivalent to a ¾ standard US cup

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 the “Rice & Water Measurement Table” on page 8.

Rice & Water

Measurement Table
White Rice

Uncooked Rice| Rice Water Line (inside pot)| Approx. Cooked Rice Yield| Cooking Time
---|---|---|---
1 Cup| Line 1| 2 Cups| 34-41 Minutes
2 Cups| Line 2| 4 Cups| 36-43 Minutes
3 Cups| Line 3| 6 Cups| 38-45 Minutes
4 Cups| Line 4| 8 Cups| 40-47 Minutes

Brown Rice

Uncooked Rice| Water Measuring Cup| Approx. Cooked Rice Yield| Cooking Time
---|---|---|---
1 Cup| Line 1| 2 Cups| 52-59 Minutes
2 Cups| Line 2| 4 Cups| 54-61 Minutes
3 Cups| Line 3| 6 Cups| 57-64 Minutes
4 Cups| Line 4| 8 Cups| 59-66 Minutes

Note:

  • Cooking times are approximate. Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will affect cooking time.
  • Opening the lid during the cooking cycle causes a loss of heat and steam. Cooking time may be prolonged if the lid is opened before the rice is finished.
  • Rinse rice before placing it into the inner pot to remove excess bran and starch. This will helo reduce browning and sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Want perfect rice without the wait? Use the Delay Timer. Simply add rice and water in the morning and set Delay Timer for when rice will be needed that night.

Grain & Water

If it is not, simply place more water in the inner pot and repeat the cooking process until the meat is adequately cooked.
