MAINTAINING YOUR RICE COOKER

Cleaning
Before cleaning your rice cooker, always press the on/off switch to “O” position, unplug the power cord and allow it to cool completely.

1. Open the lid and remove the inner pot from the rice cooker and wash them in hot soapy water. Rinse completely, then dry with a soft clean cloth.
2. Pull the steam valve out from the lid. Rotate its top to disassemble the steam valve into two parts. Clean them and the silicone pad under the bottom after each use. Dry completely and put them back to original place before next use.
3. Clean the outside of your cooker when necessary with a clean damp cloth or with a mild dish detergent. Never use abrasive cleaners. Do not use any metal tools or steel wool on the outside finish or on cooking pot as they may cause damage. Do not submerge any part of the rice cooker body in water.
4. To clean the heating plate and thermo-control plate, use steel wool to polish or remove any residue. Then wipe with a damp cloth. Allow drying completely before re-using. You must keep the heating plate and thermo-control plate free from any foreign objects; otherwise the cooker will not operate properly.
5. Any residue of vinegar or salt may cause your inner pot to corrode. Always cleanse completely after each use.
6. There is a condensate collector on the side of the appliance. Empty the water and clean the collector after each use.

11. Using the measuring cup provided in the package, measure and add rice to the inner pot. One full-level measure equals one cup.
12. You may choose any one of the following ways to add water for cooking: By measuring cup, add proper amount of water to the rice inside the inner pot. (See measurement chart); By waterline, add water to the rice inside the inner pot up to the proper waterline. Example: for 4 cups of uncooked rice, add water to line 4.
13. For softer rice, we suggest preparing rice and water in the inner pot and let it soak for 10-20 minutes before cooking.
14. Close the lid and plug in the power cord. Press the on/off switch to “I” position and press the cooking switch down. When your rice is cooked the cooker will automatically switch to the warm function.
15. After cooking it is important to allow rice to stand, for 10 minutes without removing lid. This will ensure that rice is cooked through.

Helpful hints

1. You may rinse rice to remove excess bran and starch. This will help to reduce rice browning and sticking to the bottom of your pot after cooking, but it may also lose some nutrients in the rice.
2. Remember: Place rice to your inner pot first and then add water before cooking.
3. If you have experienced any sticking due to the type of rice you choose, try adding a light coating of vegetable oil to the bottom of inner pot before placing rice.
4. When cooking brown or wild rice, add 3/4 additional cup of water.
5. As there are many kinds of rice available, rice/water measurement might be slightly different by using different kinds of rice. Remember to make the adjustment to get a better result.
6. Notes: Always use the Measuring Cup coming together with your Rice Cooker, otherwise fill the water to the bottom of the waterline.

SOUPS AND STEWS
A hearty bowl of soup or stew is always welcome at any table. Be creative and use various leftover meats and vegetables with your favorite stock and create your own unique recipes. When preparing soup or stew, try to allow extra time for it to “simmer”. This will allow flavors to blend and meat to be tender.

Helpful hints

1. To thicken your stew, mix 1/4-cup flour with enough cold water to form a thin paste. Gradually add it to the stew and stir till thickened.
2. If using fresh parsley or herbs in your recipe, add them in the last few moments of cooking to preserve flavor.
3. Save any leftovers for the next day. The flavors increase overnight in your refrigerator.
4. Canned stewed tomatoes or water with bouillon seasoning and spices added to make great stock starters for soups and stews.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The appliance does not switch off.| The lid is not closed properly.| Close the lid properly.
