To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not. attempt to modify the plug in any way.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
RICE & GRAIN
- Using the provided rice measuring cup, add rice or grain to the inner pot.
- For white or brown rice, rinse for 10 seconds and drain the water. Repeat this process at least 2 times, or until the water runs clear.
- For white rice, fill the inner pot with water to the line that matches the number of cups of uncooked rice added. For brown rice, see the “Rice & Water Measurement Table.”
- Place the inner pot into the cooker then place the lid on securely.
- Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC wall outlet.
- Press the cook switch down. The cook indicator light will illuminate as the cooker begins heating.
- Once rice is ready, the cook switch will automatically flip up and the cooker will switch to Warm.
- For best results, stir the rice with the serving spatula to distribute any remaining moisture.
- When finished serving, turn the cooker off by unplugging the power cord.
Caution:
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or products that are not
considered safe to use on nonstick coatings.
Note:
- Before placing the inner pot into the rice cooker, check that the inner pot is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the rice cooker.
- Rice should not be left in the rice cooker on Warm for more than 12 hours.
- We recommend hand washing the inner pot with warm, soapy water to lengthen its lifespan and avoid damage over time.
Helpful Hints:
For best results, we recommend rinsing rice and grains ina bow! 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. If you
misplace the measuring cup, a % standard U.S. cup is an exact replacement. To
add more flavor to rice, try substituting a favorite meat or vegetabie 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” below.
