Frequently Asked Questions - ECJ-HC55S SANYO

How do I cook white rice with the ECJ-HC55S?
Measure rice using the provided cup, rinse, add water to the corresponding level inside the pot, close lid, press the 'White Rice' button, and start. The cooker will automatically switch to keep warm when done.
Can I cook other grains besides rice?
Yes, you can cook quinoa, barley, oatmeal, or steam vegetables using the steam basket. Adjust water ratio accordingly.
How do I clean the rice cooker?
Unplug and let cool. Remove the inner pot and wash with warm soapy water. Wipe the lid and exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water.
What does the delay timer do?
Set the timer to delay cooking up to 24 hours. For example, prep ingredients at night and have rice ready in the morning. Press Timer, set hours, then press Start.
Why is there a burning smell when using?
It may be normal for the first use as manufacturing residue burns off. If persistent, check for food stuck on the heating plate or a damaged inner pot. Clean thoroughly.
Can I open the lid during cooking?
Opening the lid releases steam and may affect cooking time. It is designed to stay closed. If needed, use caution to avoid steam burns.
How does the keep warm function work?
After cooking, the cooker automatically switches to keep warm mode. It maintains rice at an ideal serving temperature for up to 12 hours.
What is the maximum capacity for steaming?
Do not fill inner pot beyond the maximum water line. For steaming, add water to the level indicated for the food and place the steam basket. Overfilling may cause overflow.
How do I replace the inner pot or gasket?
Order genuine Sanyo spare parts. To replace the inner pot, simply lift out the old one and insert the new. For the lid gasket, gently remove the old silicone ring and press the new one into the groove.
What should I do if the cooker won't turn on?
Check power cord connection and outlet. Ensure the inner pot is properly seated. If still not working, the thermal fuse may have blown; contact Sanyo service.

• Evenly distribute the rice in the bottom of the inner pot to ensure even cooking.

- Wash the rice thoroughly. Newly harvested rice (fall season) usually requires less water for cooking than does rice that has been stored. As time goes by, rice has a tendency to become dehydrated, so more water is needed for cooking.

HOW TO COOK QUICK COURSE
