  1. Important: Read all instructions carefully before first use.

  2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or knobs.

  3. Use only on a level, dry and heat-resistant surface.

  4. To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse the cord, plug, or the appliance in water or any other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.

  5. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.

  6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the unit to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.

  7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
    Contact Aroma® customer service for examination, repair, or adjustment.

  8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Aroma® Housewares may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury.

  11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

  12. Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.

  13. Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing rice, hot oil, or other liquids.

  14. Do not touch, cover or obstruct the steam vent on the top of the cooker as it is extremely hot and may cause scalding.

  15. Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.

Before First Use

  4. Thoroughly dry the cooker body and all accessories.
  5. 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 thoroughly. Close the lid and press the White Rice button. When the 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 (moist) 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, 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.

Helpful Hints:
The provided rice cooker cup is the equivalent of a 3/4 standard US cup.

Cooking Rice

  1. Using the provided measuring cup, add rice to the inner pot
  2. Rinse rice to remove excess starch. Drain.
  3. Fill with water to the line which matches the number of cups of rice being cooked.
  4. Place the inner pot into the cooker.
  5. Close the lid securely.
  6. Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC wall outlet
  7. Press the K eep Warm/( ) button to turn on the cooker.
  8. Press White Rice or Brown Rice , depending upon the type of rice being cooked.
  9. The cooker will now begin cooking. The cooking indicator light will illuminate and the display will) show a chasing pattern.
  10. The cooker will count down the final 6 minutes for white rice and the final 10 minutes for brown rice of cook time.
  11. Once the rice is finished, the cooker will beep and automatically switch to Keep Warm.
  12. For better results, stir the rice with the serving spatula to distribute any remaining moisture.
  13. When finished serving rice, turn the cooker off by pressing Keep Warm/( ) and unplug the power cord.

Note:

  • 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.

  • Brown Rice requires a much longer cooking cycle than other rice varieties due to the extra bran layers on the grains.
    The Brown Rice function on this cooker allows extra time and adjust heat settings in order to cook the rice properly. If it appears the cooker is not heating up immediately on the Brown Rice setting, this is due to a low- heat soak cycle that proceeds the cooking cycle to produce better results.

  • Rice should not be left in the cooker on Keep Warm for more than 12 hours.

Helpful Hints:
If you misplace the measuring cup, a ¾ standard US cup is an exact replacement.
To add more flavor to rice, try substituting water for 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.
