TIPS FOR DELICIOUS RICE

TIPS FOR COOKING DELICIOUS RICE

• Measure rice accurately
  Be sure to use the Measuring Cup supplied, as other measuring cups may differ.
  Level the rice off at the top of the cup to maintain accuracy.

• Clean rice quickly
  Prepare a bowl to pool water
  ① Rinse rice ·····
  First, pour plenty of water into the Inner Cooking Pan from the bowl and stir the rice loosely by hand 2 or 3 times (for 10 seconds or less). Drain the water immediately afterwards. Repeat twice.
  ② Wash rice ·····
  Wash by stirring the rice by hand 30 times, pour plenty of water from the bowl and stir the rice loosely again. Drain the water immediately afterwards. Repeat this washing process 2-4 times.
  ③ Rinse rice ·····
  Lastly, pour plenty of water from the bowl and rinse the rice. Repeat twice.
  (Complete steps ①–③ within 10 minutes.) ● Use a different method to wash jasmine white rice and steel cut oatmeal if such a method is written on the bag containing the rice or oatmeal. If no washing method is written on the bag, follow the instructions given above.
  Attention!
  Do not clean the rice or adjust the amount of water using hot water (95°F/35°C or above).
  Doing so will cause the rice to be cooked improperly.

• Adjust the amount of water accordingly
  Be sure to adjust the amount of water on a flat surface. The Water Level Line is a guideline. Adjust the amount of water according to preference, rice type, and crop age. Type of Rice| New crop| Old crop
  ---|---|---
  Water Adjustment| Reduce water slightly from the normal level| Add a little water to the normal level

●If you add too much water, it may boil over through the Steam Vent.
When Cooking 6 Cups of White Rice

• Do not use strongly alkalized ionic water
  Do not use alkalized ionic water that is over pH 9. Rice cooked with strongly alkalized ionic water may appear yellow or become too glutinous.

• Stir and loosen rice immediately after cooking has completed
  Doing so releases excess moisture, resulting in rice that is perfectly cooked with a fluffy texture. Loosen the rice within 10 minutes after cooking completes. Not loosening the rice may cause it to clump, become too glutinous or burn.

TIPS FOR USING THE KEEP WARM MODE

• When keeping rice in the Inner Cooking Pan for later consumption, use the Keep Warm mode.
  ● If rice is left in the Inner Cooking Pan with the Appliance Plug and/or Power Plug unplugged, or the Keep Warm mode has been canceled, the rice may develop a foul odor or condensed moisture may fall on the rice, making it soggy.

• To prevent the rice from becoming dry, wet, developing an odor or turning yellow, do not use the Keep Warm mode for the following:
  ● Keeping a small amount of rice warm for a long period
  ● Keeping rice warm for 12 hours or more in the Regular Keep Warm mode or 24 hours or more in the Extended Keep Warm mode (This may differ depending on the menu setting)
  ● Adding additional rice while keeping rice warm
  ● Reheating cold rice
  ● Keeping congee or steel cut oatmeal warm
  ● Keeping rice warm when it contains additional ingredients and seasonings (mixed rice)
  ● Keeping foods other than rice warm
  ● Keeping rice warm with the Spatula left inside the Rice Cooker

• When keeping a small amount of rice warm, gather the rice toward the center of the Inner Cooking Pan.
  ● As the amount of rice kept warm decreases, the rice may dry or become wet. To minimize this, gather the rice toward the center of the Inner Cooking Pan while keeping warm.

HOW TO SET THE CLOCK

ACTIVATED BROWN RICE

(GABA BROWN)
This Rice Cooker has two settings for cooking brown rice. The GABA BROWN setting on the menu activates brown rice for increased nutritional value.

GABA BROWN SETTING:
When GABA BROWN is selected on the menu, the Rice Cooker will begin activating the brown rice, and then it will start cooking automatically. During the brown rice activation process, the temperature in the Inner Cooking Pan is kept at approx.
104°F (approx. 40℃) for about 2 hours. Cooking will take longer to complete.
→ See pg. 14 “ESTIMATED COOKING TIME”.
By activating brown rice, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a naturally occurring nutrient in brown rice, increases to about 150% of the amount contained in non-activated brown rice. This process also makes brown rice softer, thus making it readily edible.
*What is GABA?
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a type of amino acid said to lower blood pressure and relieve stress.

KEEPING RICE WARM

REGULAR KEEP WARM AND EXTENDED KEEP WARM
You can choose the Regular Keep Warm mode or Extended Keep Warm mode by pressing the RICE TYPE button while the KEEP WARM light is on.

• The Extended Keep Warm mode is not available in the following cases. The Rice Cooker will beep and automatically start the Regular Keep Warm mode.
  • When MIXED, SWEET, CONGEE, BROWN, GABA BROWN, or STEEL CUT OATMEAL menu setting is used
  • If 12 hours of Regular Keep Warm has already elapsed
  • If the temperature of the Inner Cooking Pan is low because the Keep Warm mode has been cancelled, or power failure
• To end the Keep Warm mode, press the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button.

REGULAR KEEP WARM
This mode keeps the rice warm at a higher temperature, so the rice develops odors less easily.

When cooking completes, the Rice Cooker automatically switches to the Regular Keep Warm mode and the KEEP WARM light and KEEP WARM-REGULAR display turn on.

EXTENDED KEEP WARM
Use this mode when keeping rice warm for a longer period of time. Drying and yellowing of rice will be reduced by maintaining the temperature slightly lower.

This mode can be activated during the Regular Keep Warm mode.

1. Check to make sure the KEEP WARM-REGULAR display is on.
2. Press the button. The KEEP WARM-EXTENDED display will turn on.

How to change from the Extended Keep Warm mode to the Regular Keep Warm mode

Press the  button.

The setting will return to the Regular Keep Warm mode and the KEEP WARM- REGULAR display will turn on.

ABOUT LENGTH OF KEEP WARM TIME

• Be sure to observe the length of time for which rice can be kept warm as shown in the table below.
• You cannot select EXTENDED KEEP WARM for the menus marked with a “-”. REGULAR KEEP WARM is automatically selected.
• After cooking, all menus default to the Keep Warm mode. However, do not use the Keep Warm mode for the menus with an “×” below. Doing so can cause spoilage and foul odors.

Menu
KEEP WARM| REGULAR•FIRMER• UMAMI•QUICK• SUSHI•JASMINE• QUICK JASMINE| MIXED•SWEET•CONGEE• STEEL CUT OATMEAL| BROWN• GABA BROWN
---|---|---|---
REGULAR KEEP WARM| Up to 12 hours| | Up to 12 hours
EXTENDED KEEP WARM| Up to 24 hours| |

• For each menu setting, after the time listed in the table above has elapsed, the number will begin to blink as a warning. Consume the rice as soon as possible.
• For the menus with an “ ” above, the number will begin blinking at 0 hours. Do not use the Keep Warm mode for these menus. * With the CONGEE and STEEL CUT OATMEAL menu settings, the cooked grains will become thick as time passes, so turn off the Keep Warm mode after cooking is finished and consume the food as soon as possible.

HOW TO KEEP RICE WARM AGAIN

■ When you want to keep rice warm after canceling the Keep Warm mode.

Press the button.

The REGULAR KEEP WARM light turns on, and the time elapsed display returns to “0 h”.

• If the temperatures of the rice and the Inner Cooking Pan are low, do not keep warm again. Trying to keep contents warm again when the rice and Inner Cooking Pan temperatures are low will cause “0 (h)” to blink.

When you are concerned about the odor

• Foul odors or the growth of bacteria may occur depending on how well the unit is cleaned, the room temperature based on the season or the usage environment, frequent opening and closing of the Outer Lid, the type of rice used, or the way the rice was cleaned. If you are concerned about odors, cleaning the Rice Cooker according to “THE INTERIOR” on pg. 26 and “SELF-CLEANING” on pg. 28 and then using REGULAR KEEP WARM should be effective. It can be even more effective to increase the Keep Warm temperature, as described on pg. 33, “IF THE FOLLOWING OCCURS”.

IMPORTANT

• When keeping rice in the Inner Cooking Pan for later consumption, you must use the Regular Keep Warm mode or Extended Keep Warm mode.

NOTE

• If you want to know the current time during the Regular Keep Warm mode or Extended Keep Warm mode, press the or button and the Display will switch.
  Press the or button again to return to the display for the Keep Warm time elapsed.

If you do not return the display to the Keep Warm time elapsed, the next time you cook rice, the Keep Warm time elapsed will not be displayed. If the Keep Warm time elapsed display is blinking, you cannot switch.

Notification Sounds During Keep Warm to Preserve the Flavor of Rice

• Reminder to Loosen Rice
  If you did not loosen the rice promptly after it finished cooking, the Notification Sound will beep (4 short beeps) after around 10 minutes, 40 minutes, and 70 minutes. After the Rice Cooker switches to Keep Warm, open the Outer Lid and loosen the rice promptly in order to allow excess moisture to escape and prevent the rice from clumping, becoming soggy, or burnt.

• Reminder to Close Outer Lid
  If the Outer Lid is left open while the rice is being kept warm, the Notification Sound will beep (4 short beeps) after around 5 minutes, and thereafter will sound again 3 times at 3-minute intervals. In order to prevent the rice from drying out or becoming cold, close the Outer Lid slowly and completely until you hear it click shut.

If these reminders are not needed, you can set the Notification Sounds to mute.
→ pg. 10

REHEATING RICE

You can use this function during the Regular
Keep Warm mode or Extended Keep Warm mode.

• This Reheat function is for reheating the rice during the Keep Warm mode to make the rice hotter. Particularly, when the rice is kept warm at a lower temperature by the Extended Keep Warm mode, the Reheat function will reheat the rice to the best serving temperature.
• You can reheat the rice only when the KEEP WARM light is on.

1. Loosen and level the surface of the rice that is being kept warm.
   ●Be sure to loosen the rice to prevent scorching or the rice from becoming hard.
   ●To reheat a small amount of rice, add 1 tablespoon of water for each bowl of rice (approx. 5.5 fl. oz./approx. 160 g), mix well, and gather the rice toward the center of the Inner Cooking Pan. Doing so will minimize dryness.
