This rice cooker is intended for household use.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is to be used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the 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 3-wire cord; and (3) the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled down by children or tripped over accidentally.
The following instructions are applicable to 120V only:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet in only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or disabled persons without supervision. Ensure that young children do not play with the rice cooker.

Note
- Rinse-free rice can be cooked using the "Plain", "Ultra", "Quick", "Mixed", and "Porridge" menus. You can cook delicious rinse-free rice easily without being concerned about the water amount or soaking time.
Since the bran has already been removed, rinse-free rice does not require washing. It is also good for the environment because the water left over after rinsing the rice does not affect the rivers or ocean. - When using the "Porridge" menu, the porridge can become pasty if kept warm for too long; serve as soon as possible.
Tips on making delicious rice

Read p.16 to 17 for preparations before cooking rice, and p.18 to 23 for how to cook rice.
Select high quality rice and store it in a cool location.
Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a uniform grain size. Store in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place.
Carefully measure the rice with the supplied measuring cup.
One cup equals about 5.29 oz (0.18 L). Use the supplied measuring cup for rinse-free rice as well. This product contrives the cooking method. It is not necessary to use the measuring cup for rinse-free rice.

Wash the rice quickly.
Stir the rice around with your hand in a generous amount of water, pour out the water, and repeat until the water remains clear.
When cooking germinated brown rice, whole rice or semi-polished rice, select the "Plain" or "Ultra" menu.
Cooking rinse-free rice
- Add the rinse-free rice and water, and then stir well from the bottom so that every individual grain of rice becomes immersed in the water. (Merely adding water to the rice will prevent it from soaking in the water and may result in improperly cooked rice.)
- If the added water turns white, we recommend you wash the rice thoroughly by replacing the water once or twice. (The water turning white is due to the starch in the rice and not its bran; however, cooking it with the starch left in the water may result in burned rice, the contents boiling over, or improperly cooked rice.)
Adding other ingredients to the rice
The total amount of ingredients should be no more than 2.5 oz (70 g) per cup of rice. Stir in any seasoning well and then add the extra ingredients on top of the rice. If other ingredients are to be added to the rice, be sure to use no more than the acceptable maximum amount (refer to the table below).
| Type of rice | 1.0 L (5.5-cup) type | 1.8 L (10-cup) type |
| Mixed 4 cups or less | 6 cups or less | |
| Sweet 3 cups or less | 5 cups or less | |
| Brown 3 cups or less | 5 cups or less | |
| Porridge • Hard 0.5 cups or less | 1.5 cups or less | cups or less |
- Add water prior to adding the ingredients. Adding water after the ingredients will result in the cooked rice being too firm.
Add water according to the type of rice and your personal preference.
- Amount of water to add
| Type of rice | Corresponding scale (Use the corresponding scale on the inner pot as a guide and add water according to your personal preference.) |
| PlainQuick | “Plain” scale |
| UltraMixed | “Ultra” scale |
| Jasmine “Jasmine” scale | |
| Brown “Brown” scale | |
| Porridge | Hard porridge: “Porridge • Hard” scaleSoft porridge: “Porridge • Soft” scale |
Water levels in the above table also apply to rinse-free rice.
- If you choose to use more or less water than the recommended amount, do not deviate from that amount by any more than 1/3 of one line.
- When cooking germinated brown rice, whole rice or semi-polished rice, use the "Plain" or "Ultra" scale as a reference.
- When cooking steamed sweet rice, use the "Sweet" scale as a reference.
When cooking sweet and non-sweet rice mixed together, use the scale between "Plain" and "Sweet" as a reference. (In this case, add a little extra water to the level used when cooking only sweet rice.)
- If the amount of water to add is specified on a package of germinated brown rice or multi-grain rice, follow those directions and add water according to your personal preference.
Cooking brown rice and/or multi-grain rice mixed in with white rice
- If the rice to be cooked includes more brown rice and/or multi-grain rice than white rice, use the "Brown" menu.
- If there is an equal amount of brown rice and white rice, or there is more white rice than brown rice, use the "Plain" menu. (The brown rice should be soaked separately for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)
- If there is an equal amount of multi-grain rice and white rice, or there is more white rice than multi-grain rice, use the "Plain" menu. (The multi-grain rice should be soaked separately for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)
Cooking sweet rice
When cooking sweet rice, select the "Mix menu.
Wash the rice, and then level it out so that all of the rice is under water.
Cooking grains together with white rice
- The amount of multi-grain rice should equal less than 20% of the volume of the white rice. The maximum acceptable amount for the combination of white rice and grains is 5.5 cups with the 1.0 L type and 10 cups with the 1.8 L type.
- The grains should be placed on top of the white rice. Mixing them together may result in improperly cooked food.
Cooking grains together with brown rice
Always use the "Brown" menu.
- The maximum acceptable amount for the combination of brown rice and grains is 3.5 cups with the 1.0L type and 6 cups with the 1.8L type.
Cooking short-grain rice
- When cooking short-grain rice, select the "Plain" menu.
When cooking seasoned rice with various ingredients using short-grain rice, select the "Mixed" menu.
Selecting any other menu may result in the contents boiling over or in improperly cooked food.
Cooking long-grain rice
- When cooking long-grain rice, select the "Jasmine" menu. When cooking seasoned rice with various ingredients using long-grain rice, select the "Mixed" menu. Selecting any other menu may result in the contents boiling over.
1 Measure the rice.
