Measure out the water and rice correctly.
Wash the rice gently.
Heavy-handed washing of the rice can result in the grains splitting, causing the rice to stick or burn. Use suitable water.
We recommend the use of tap water or filtered tap water. - Use of alkaline water (with a pH higher than 9) may result in sticky or yellow-coloured rice.
- Use of hard mineral water (with hardness of 100 or above) may result in dry or hard rice.
Things to look out! ●Where possible, choose recently processed rice. ●After opening a bag of rice, use it promptly. - Keep rice in the fridge.

ECONAVI Q&A
Questions Answers
What is ECONAVI?
Is ECONAVI available for all programs?
Why doesn't the ECONAVI lamp light up during the keep warm state?
Why does the ECONAVI lamp switch off during operation?
Can I switch the ECONAVI lamp off?
- When the keep warm function is in use, the Rice Cooker applies an amount of heat corresponding to the amount of rice. ● ECONAVI will work after cooking using the "Delicious", "Quick", "Eco", "1-2 person" or "Sushi" programs. ECONAVI will not work with the following programs which are not recommended to use the keep warm function. ("Congee", "Casserole", "Brown", "Grains", "Mixed", "Cake", "Steam", "Soup".)
- Are you using the high-temperature keep warm setting? (P.32) ECONAVI is not available when the keep warm temperature is increased.
- ECONAVI may not work if the Rice Cooker is cooking a large quantity (7 cups or more in the 1.0L model, or 5 cups or more in the 1.0L model) when the room temperature at the start of cooking is 10°C or less.
- Have you switched off the keep warm function after cooking? When the keep warm function is switched off, ECONAVI is also switched off. ECONAVI will not operate, even if keep warm is restarted.
- Is the ECONAVI lamp set to off? The ECONAVI lamp can be switched off. (See below) ● Has the keep warm function been in operation for 12 hours or more? After 12 hours, the keep warm function continues to operate but ECONAVI ends. ● The ECONAVI lamp can be switched off using the following procedure. Note that ECONAVI continues even with the light switched off.
