USE

1. Before using for the first time, clean the removable cooking bowl, serving scoop and measuring cup in soapy water. Rinse and dry them carefully.
2. Put the rice cooker and its removable bowl on a flat stable surface.
3. Make sure the appliance is unplugged.
4. You may use many varieties of rice including basmati, brown rice, long grain rice etc.
5. Measure the raw rice amount with the measuring cup provided. Add the desired amount of butter, oil or seasonings. Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in the removable cooking bowl provided.
6. Pour the rice in the cooking bowl. Add water. Use the water-level markings inside the cooking bowl as a guide for adding the exact amount of water. For example, for 4 cups of uncooked rice, fill with water to water-level marking 4. Note: Taste / hardness will vary depending on the quality / type of rice and length of time it is cooked. For softer, fluffier rice, add a little more water. For firmer, crunchier rice, add a little less water.
7. Before placing the cooking bowl into the rice cooker, make sure the heating plate and outside surface of the cooking bowl are clean and dry. Do not let loose rice or particles fall into the rice cooker.
8. Insert cooking bowl into the rice cooker. You might have to turn it slightly to the left and right to ensure proper contact with the heating plate.
9. Place the lid on the rice cooker. Always keep the lid on the rice cooker while cooking.
10. Plug the appliance into an electrical outlet. The WARM light comes on.
11. Push down the switch. The COOK light comes on and cooking begins. As the rice expands and cooks, steam comes out through the steam vent on the lid. Caution: Keep your face and hands away from the steam vent as you may get burned with the hot steam.
12. Once rice is cooked, the switch pops up and the rice cooker automatically switches to the keep warm function. The WARM light comes on and stays on, indicating serving temperature is maintained. The unit stays in the keep warm cycle until it is unplugged.
13. If holding rice for longer than 30 minutes, stir occasionally to prevent browning of rice on the bottom of cooking bowl.
14. Remove the lid and stir the rice before serving. Caution: When removing the lid, lift away from your body as you may get burned with the hot steam.
15. Unplug the unit when finished.

NOTES:

• Wash measured rice in a separate bowl if desired.
• For softer rice, prepare rice and water in the inner pot and let soak for 10-20 minutes before cooking.

CLEANING AND CARE

• Clean the appliance after each use.
  • Always unplug the appliance and let it cool down before cleaning.
• Never immerse it in water or any other liquid.
• Wash the cooking bowl, lid, serving scoop and measuring cup in warm, soapy water. If crusty rice sticks to the bottom of the cooking bowl, soak it to loosen rice. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads—they may scratch the non-stick surface and could result in poor contact with the heating plate.
• Clean the unit by wiping the inside and outside surfaces with a damp soapy cloth and drying thoroughly.

IMPORTANT TIPS:

• Do not keep small amounts of rice in the keep warm cycle for extended periods of time.
• During cooking, a thin crust may develop on the rice at the bottom of the bowl. If you do not like rice with crust, you can easily peel it off from the non-stick cooking bowl and throw it away.
• Use the plastic serving scoop (or a wooden spoon) to stir and remove rice. Do not use metal utensils that can scratch the non-stick cooking bowl.
