INSTRUCTION FOR USE COOKING RICE

With the Rice Cooker, you can use any kind of rice.

1. Measure the amount of raw rice that you would like to cook. A 168ml (1 cup) Measuring Cup is included with your cooker. Filling the cup with rice makes approximately 2-1/2 cups of rice cooked
   NOTE: Make sure that the rice is leveled when the cup is filled. The Rice cooker has the capacity for 8 measuring cups of dry rice.

2. For best results Pour desired amount of rice into a separate container. Wash and rinse water the rice until the rinse water is clear.

3. Take the Inner Pot out of the Rice Cooker. Place the washed rice into the inner pot and add approximate amount of water. (If you are making 8 measuring cups of dry rice, add water to
   the “8” mark inside of the Inner Pot).

4. Replace the Inner Pot back into the Rice Cooker. Rotate slightly to make sure that it is well sealed on the Heating Plate.

5. Place the Glass Lid on top of the Rice Cooker.
   CAUTION: Do not operate the Rice Cooker without closing the lid. Steam is generated during use.

6. Plug the Rice Cooker into an electrical outlet. Press the Power Switch and the “COOK” light will illuminate. The cooking process begins as soon as the light illuminates.

7. When the Rice Cooker is done cooking, the “WARM” light will illuminate. For best results, let the cooked rice sit for 15 minutes before stirring or removing. This allows the steam to finish the cooking process.

8. Mix the rice. After rice has steamed for 15 minutes, carefully open the Lid, as steam will escape. Use the paddle provided, or any other non-metal long
   handle utensil to scoop and mix the rice as well.

9. Keep Warm. When the cooking is completed, the Rice Cooker will ally go into the “WARM” mode. At this time the “WARM” light will illuminate.

11. Allow the Rice Cooker to cool completely before cleaning.

12. When the Rice Cooker is not being used, please keep it unplugged.

HOW TO USE THE OUTER STEAMER

Many foods may be cooked in the Rice Cooker/Food Steamer including meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, or even puddings and cakes. Steam cooking is quick and easy, but more importantly, it preserves the original flavors and nutritional value.

1. To steam cook, add water to the Cooking Bowl and place the Outer Steamer onto the inner rim of the Cooking Bowl.
   NEVER PUT ANY LIQUID INTO THE BASE.

2. Put the food in the Outer Steamer and place the lid on the Cooker.

3. Press the switch (COOK) to start cooking and the red cooking indicator light will glow.

4. Steam until done to taste.

5. When removing the lid after steaming, take care not to allow water droplets to fall onto food, such as custards or puddings.
   NOTE : Steam cooking times will vary depending on the food being cooked and the desired degree of cooking. Experiment with this healthy method of cooking by varying the quantity of water and the cooking time. This will help you to obtain the best results to suit your individual taste.
