Frequently Asked Questions - SR-G18FG PANASONIC

How to use the Panasonic SR-G18FG rice cooker?

Rinse the rice, place it in the pot with the indicated amount of water (use the included measuring cup). Close the lid, plug in the appliance, and select the desired program. Press the cooking button. The appliance automatically switches to keep warm mode once cooking is complete.

What type of rice can be cooked with this appliance?

It is suitable for white rice, brown rice, sushi rice, and other varieties. Use dedicated programs if available. For brown rice, the cooking time is longer.

How to clean the SR-G18FG rice cooker?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Remove the inner pot and the lid gasket. Wash them with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Never immerse the appliance body in water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.

What to do if the rice sticks to the bottom of the pot?

This can happen if the amount of water is insufficient or the pot is scratched. Always use the measuring cup and follow the markings. To clean, soak the pot in hot water before washing. Avoid metal utensils to preserve the non-stick coating.

How to set a delayed start?

After adding rice and water, press the 'Timer' or 'Delayed Start' button. Set the desired time (up to 13 hours ahead) using the +/- buttons, then confirm. The appliance will start automatically so the rice is ready at the selected time.

My rice cooker does not turn on, what should I do?

Check that the appliance is properly plugged in and the outlet works. Make sure the pot is correctly placed and the lid is closed properly. If the problem persists, contact Panasonic after-sales service.

The capacity is 5 cups of uncooked rice, approximately 1.0 liter. This serves up to 10 people (standard portion). Do not exceed the maximum marking indicated in the pot.

Can other foods besides rice be cooked?

Yes, you can use the steam cooking function with the included steaming basket for vegetables, fish, or meat. The appliance can also be used to reheat dishes or prepare soups.

How to replace the lid gasket?

The silicone gasket is removable. Carefully remove it, clean it, and put it back. If damaged, order a spare part from Panasonic. Make sure to position it correctly to ensure a tight seal.

Where to find spare parts for the Panasonic SR-G18FG?

Spare parts (pot, gasket, steaming basket, etc.) are available through Panasonic after-sales service or on specialized websites. Use the model number to order the correct parts.

NOTE

A. A short power-supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. B. Longer cord set or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. C. If a long cord set or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. (2) if the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type three-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

This appliance has a polarized plug: (one blade is wider than the other).

As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Before use, remove the paper located between the cast heater and the pan. Be sure to keep the rice cooker out of the reach of children especially when cooking rice.

Always keep the outside bottom of the pan and the cast heater clean and dry. Any foreign matter found should be removed immediately.

Avoid exposing the rice cooker to water or placing the rice cooker near water supply. The rice cooker should not be covered with cloth or any object while in use.
