Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard:
This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Cooking rice
- Rice Measuring Cup – Do not throw away the rice measuring cup that comes with your unit. This is an important tool in using your Multi-Cooker successfully as a rice cooker and its size is standard in the rice industry. One rice measuring cup equals 6 oz. (177 mL) or approximately 3/4 cup (U.S. standard measuring cup).
- Steamer/Rinsing Basket – To use as a rice rinsing basket, add the desired amount of measured uncooked rice to the steamer basket. Do not fill the above side vents to prevent rice from falling through while rinsing. Place the basket under a slow-flowing faucet and rinse. Add drained rice to the cooking pot. Repeat rinsing with any remaining rice.
If using Multi-Cooker to cook rice, cereal, or grain:
- Add the desired amount of uncooked rice to the cooking pot; then fill with water to the corresponding water line. Example: If you add 4 level measuring cups of rice to the cooking pot, add water to the “4” line of the pot. DO NOT exceed 10-cup MAX.
- Place the cooking pot straight down on base. Make sure the cooking pot is securely placed into base.
NOTE: Make sure the bottom of the cooking pot is not bent or warped, or it will not conduct heat correctly. - Plug into outlet. Press to turn on Multi-Cooker.
- All function buttons will flash. Press desired function button. Selected function and time will flash. Multi- Cooker will start to heat automatically after 5 seconds.
- At the end of the cooking time, the Multi-Cooker will automatically switch to WARM. The multi-Cooker will keep warm up to 12 hours, then sound an alarm and switch to standby mode.
Program functions
Five functions have preprogrammed cycles with a default cooking time that cannot be adjusted. Actual cooking time depends on the amounts of ingredients and water. If the actual cooking time is less than the default time, the display time will jump to a time designated by the program and start counting down until it is finished cooking. If the actual cooking time is longer than the default, the program holds for a time and then counts down until finished cooking. The Multi-Cooker automatically switches to WARM when done cooking and will keep warm up to 12 hours.
Time functions
Eight functions can be adjusted to the time you desire. After selecting function, press and hold the function button to start time. The display will show ON until the cooking temperature is reached, then the timer will count down. The cooker automatically switches to WARM when done cooking and will keep warm up to 12 hours.
NOTE*: If pot boils dry, Multi-Cooker will beep and the remaining time will flash in display. To continue STEAM/COOK, add more wate within 3 minutes. If no water is added after 3 minutes, the display will flash “Er” until the ON/OFF button is pressed.
* While slow cooking, the condensation collector may need to be emptied after each time you open the lid to prevent overflow.
Warm
The WARM function should be used for already-cooked food. Do not cook on WARM. Timer will count up to display the total amount of time on WARM.
Delay time
The Delay Time function can be used with WHITE RICE, BROWN RICE, SUSHI RICE, WHOLE GRAIN, QUICK RICE, HOT CEREALS, QUINOA, STEAM/COOK, and SOUP/SIMMER. Place water and food items in cooking pot or food in steamer basket. Select function and cooking time.
Press DELAY TIME. The function button and the DELAY TIME buttons will flash, and display will flash “0.” Continue to press DELAY TIME to set delay time from 1 to 15 hours. Multi-Cooker will automatically start after 5 seconds, counting down the delay time. Cooking/steaming will begin once the unit has completed the delay time countdown. After cooking is complete, the Multi-Cooker will switch to WARM (except for STEAM/COOK).
Memory Save
If the power is cut off and restarts within 5 seconds, the Multi-Cooker will remember the initial cooking status and continue the previous function automatically. If the power break was longer than 5 seconds, the unit will switch to standby mode.
Care and Cleaning
