Turn the pot slightly to the left and the right that there is a sufficient contact to the heating plate and the thermostat.

Never put liquids or rice in the outer pot /housing.

Only use the supplied measuring cup.
1.5 measuring cup rice plus 2 measuring cups water yield for 3 cups cooked rice

- Wash the raw rice under old water before cooking and place in the inner pot.
- Never add larger quantities as 1.5 measuring cups rice, because the rice swells! Do not add rice bags to the appliance, but only the loose rice.
You can add spices such as chili, garlic etc. to the water.

For wild and brown rice, add in addition to the above mentioned amounts half a measuring cup of water more.

After the cooking time run out, stir well the rice so that excess water can evaporate. Close the lid again. Some kinds of rice are then soft and sticky. If the rice is too firm, add more water the next time.

In various types of rice, it may be a slight browning of the rice grains on the bottom of the pot. This cannot be prevented by design. Possibly stir briefly during cooking.
