INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Clean the Glass Lid, Inner Pot, Paddle and Measuring Cup according to the user maintenance instructions.

USING YOUR MULTI-USE RICE COOKER

Your Multi-Use Rice Cooker includes a convenient and useful Sauté Function, which allows you to sauté/brown onions, garlic and/or other ingredients in oil prior to cooking. You can choose to cook rice or other meals directly without the need to sauté, but this added feature gives you greater versatility in the preparation of your favorite recipes.

SAUTÉ FUNCTION

This function was designed to give you control when sautéing/browning and needs to be controlled manually as follows:

1. Remove lid and place food inside unit.
2. Connect power cord to an electrical outlet and press the Sauté On/Off Button “○” once to active function.
3. The Multi-Use Rice Cooker will heat up the Inner Pot and sauté the food inside.
4. This function requires close supervision and needs to be controlled manually. When browning is done, turn off this function by pressing the Sauté On/Off Button "once.

IMPORTANT: Before cooking rice, you must manually turn off the Sauté function.

NOTE: Do not use a metal spoon to stir the food inside the inner pot since that might damage the non-stick coating, which could affect the unit performance in the long term.

AUTOMATIC COOK FUNCTION

If you would like to sauté/brown prior to cooking rice or other ingredients, please refer to the Sauté Function section. Once you are done browning your ingredients, follow the instructions below.

You may also use the Automatic Cook Function without browning any ingredients by simply following these instructions.

1. Make sure appliance is unplugged.
2. Measure raw rice for desired amount with the Measuring Cup (180 ml) provided.

3. One cup of the uncooked rice will make about two cups of cooked rice. Add rice to Inner Pot.

4. By using the Measuring Cup, add proper amount of water to the rice inside the Inner Pot (for every cup [180 ml] of raw rice, add 1-1/2 cups of water).
   NOTE: You may need to adjust the quantity of water depending on the kind of rice you are cooking and how moist you prefer it. For sticker rice, add slightly more water. For fluffier rice, use slightly less water. If you are cooking brown rice, add more water. You may also need to adjust the water quantity by adding more water if you are using the rice cooker at a high altitude.

5. Set the Inner Pot into the Rice Cooker. Make sure that the Inner Pot sits directly in contact with the heating plate by turning it slightly from right to left until it is seated properly. Cover with Lid. WHEN USING THE AUTOMATIC COOK MODE DO NOT OPERATE UNIT UNCOVERED. STEAM IS GENERATED DURING USE.
6. Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet. Activate the Rice Cooker on by pushing down the On-Switch Cook Button down. Make sure the Cook Light (amber) is on.
   IMPORTANT: If you use the sauté/brown function, you must manually turn off the sauté/brown function before cooking rice.
7. After 15 minutes mix the rice. Lift and remove the Lid carefully to avoid scalding and allow water to drip into the Inner Pot. Use the Paddle or another long handheld utensil to scoop and mix the rice. After mixing, cover the Inner Pot with the Lid.
8. When your rice is cooked, the Rice Cooker will automatically switch to the warm function and the Keep Warm Light (green) will turn on. The Rice Cooker will keep the rice warm until the unit is disconnected from the wall outlet.
9. The Rice Cooker will automatically keep rice warm at 60^ C – 80^ C ( 140^ F – 175^ F).
10. Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet when not in use.

NOTES: Wash the rice in a separate bowl, prior to cooking, if desired. For softer rice, we suggest preparing rice and water in the Inner Pot and letting soak for 10 – 20 minutes before cooking.

INSTRUCTIONS TO REHEAT RICE

To reheat cold rice, add 1/4 cup (4 Tbsp.) of cold water per cup of cooked rice, stir to mix, and then press On-Switch Cook Button to start cooking. When rice is warm, the Rice Cooker will automatically switch to the keep warm function.

USING THE STEAMING TRAY

(Select models only)

Steam cooking vegetables retains more nutrients than boiling or baking, while preserving the bright, natural color.

1. Prepare vegetables by washing, peeling and then cutting into smaller sized pieces.
2. Make sure the unit is unplugged.
3. Fill the Inner Pot with the appropriate amount of water. (See Chart)
4. Set the Inner Pot into the heating body. Make sure that the Inner Pot sits directly in contact with the heating plate.
