• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Do not place near heat-sensitive curtains.
• The total amount of food and water should NOT exceed the MAX level marked on the cooking pot. Some foods such as rice, expand during cooking and should not fill the cooking pot over halfway.
• Spilled food can cause serious burns. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot liquids or hot oil.
• Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
• Always attach the cord to the appliance first, and then plug the cord into a wall outlet.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking Remove all packing materials. Wash the cooking pot, steam vent, and other accessories, and then dry thoroughly before using.

NOTE: The cooking pot is dishwasher safe.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING – ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

A 120 V, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the rice cooker is used. Sharing the power supply with other appliances will result in overheating.

Power Supply Cord

NOTE: This Rice Cooker has a 3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the plug will fit into an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug.

A short power supply cord is used to reduce the risks of becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord, or of the cord being grabbed by children.

If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or technician install an outlet near the appliance. Do NOT use an extension cord.

Location Requirements

This rice cooker is designed for household use only; the cooker should not be used for commercial use. Use indoors on a stable, level, non-heat sensitive surface such as a countertop in a location where the lid can be fully opened; do NOT use outdoors.

Do not place the rice cooker on an area of the countertop that is exposed to direct sunlight, or where it might be splashed with cooking oil.

RECOMMENDED CLEARANCE

Steam and heat emitted from the rice cooker may damage or discolor nearby walls or cabinets. It is recommended that the rice cooker be placed at a minimum distance of 12” (30.5 cm) from walls or cabinets.

MEASURING RICE

IMPORTANT: The total amount of rice and water should NOT exceed the 6-cup MAX level marked inside the cooking pot.

NOTE: The Rice Measure is significantly smaller than the standard U.S. cup measure.

• To achieve the correct ratio of rice to water, use ONLY the Rice Measure (cup provided).
• Level the rice in the Rice Measure cup so that it is even with the top.
• For softer or firmer rice adjust the ratio of water to rice accordingly.
• If the rice requires rinsing before cooking, measure the rice before you rinse it, Follow the rinsing directions for that specific type of rice.

RINSING RICE

Some types of rice are rinse-free and other types require rinsing before use to remove excess starch which may make the rice sticky. Also, cooking rice with starchy water may result in the rice burning or being improperly cooked.

If the water should turn white or cloudy, when added to rinse-free rice, drain and replace the water before cooking. Many recipes recommend rinsing quickly so the rice does not absorb water prior to cooking.

To Rinse Rice Quickly:

1. Place a colander inside a larger bowl.
2. Place the rice in the colander and rinse under cool running water.
   NOTE: Rinsing rice in hot water may prevent the rice from cooking properly.
3. Using your hand stir the rice around 3 to 4 times to separate the grains.
4. Continue to rinse until the water in the bowl is clear.

ADDING OTHER INGREDIENTS

If you wish to add other ingredients or seasonings to the rice, do so after adding the water. The rice will not cook properly and be too firm if ingredients are added before the water.

COOKING RICE

WARNING – ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

NOTE: Cooking time will vary depending on the type of rice or grain being cooked.

1. Before using it for the first time, wash the cooking pot, steam vent, other accessories, and attachments, and then dry each thoroughly.
   NOTE: The cooking pot is dishwasher safe.
2. Measure rice, and then rinse rice, if needed.
3. Add measured rice to the cooking pot.
4. Add water until it reaches the corresponding numbered Water Line marked on the interior of the cooking pot. For example, when cooking 3 measures of white rice, add water to the second line from the bottom of the pot.
   To suit your personal preference, the amount of liquid can be adjusted slightly (no more than 1/3 of the distance between the lines).
5. Stir the rice into the water, so that each grain is immersed in the water.
6. Place the cooking pot into the rice cooker.
7. Rotate the pot two to three times to ensure solid contact between the bottom of the cooking pot and the heating plate.
8. Close the lid, and then press downward until it clicks into
   place.
9. Plug the power supply cord into a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet.
   NOTE: The rice cooker is powered ON but in standby mode (no heat).
10. Select desired cooking program. See “CONTROLS” for an explanation of options.
11. Press ON/OFF/START.
    NOTE: During first use, there may be a plastic odor that will dissipate after use.
12. When cooking is completed three beeps will sound. The Keep Warm/Reheat light will illuminate.
13. Press the lid release button to open the lid, and then stir the rice well before serving.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

• Measure rice and water accurately.
• For added flavor, you may substitute meat stock or broth for the water and chopped fresh herbs can be stirred into the rice at the end of cooking before allowing it to rest.
• Some varieties of rice should be rinsed before cooking. Enriched rice, commonly found in the U.S., is not rinsed to preserve the added nutrients. If rinsing rice before cooking, measure rice before rinsing and drain as much water as possible.
• After adding the rice and water to the cooking pot, spread it evenly over the bottom.
• Do not open the lid during cooking.
• Most types of rice will be slightly undercooked at the end of the cooking program. Allow the cooked rice to “rest” in the cooking pot for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the last bit of moisture.

DELAY COOKING

The Delay Timer delays the start of cooking programs except for Pasta, Sauté, and DIY. The start of the cooking process can be delayed for up to 24 hours.

IMPORTANT

• To maintain the quality of the rice, it is recommended that you not set the delay timer for longer than 12 hours.
• Place the ingredients in the cooking pot, place the pot in the rice cooker, and close the lid.
• Select the desired cooking program.
• Press the Delay Timer button. The Delay Timer display will illuminate and the first two digits (hours) will flash.
• Press the + and – buttons to set the desired number of hours.
• Press Time. The last two digits will flash (minutes).
• Press the + and – buttons to set the desired number of minutes.
• Press the ON/OFF/START button. The countdown timer will start and the cooking process will begin when the delay has finished.

STEAMING FOOD

In addition to the Steam program, food can be steamed during the rice cooking process. The rice cooker may be used to steam food such as vegetables, meat, or fish.

It takes approximately 70 minutes to cook a batch of white rice and approximately 5 to 20 minutes (depending on the type and quantity) to steam cleaned, cut vegetables.

•  Determine the time needed to steam the food. See Steaming Guide.
• At the appropriate time open the rice cooker.
• Place the steamer basket with the cut vegetables arranged in a single layer onto the rim of the cooking pot.
• Close the lid and continue cooking for the remaining time.
• Remove food immediately after steaming to avoid overcooking.

NOTES:

• If steaming meat or fish, first place foil on the bottom
  of the steamer basket to keep the meat juices from seeping into the rice.
• Vegetables should be cut to a size similar to that indicated in the following chart.
• Cooking times are approximate and will yield cooked but crisp/tender vegetables. Add or decrease time if you prefer softer or crisper vegetables.

STEAMING GUIDE

NOTE: While steaming, monitor your meat’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure the meat your cook reaches a safe temperature.
