Frequently Asked Questions - NW-JEC18 Zojirushi

How do I set the Timer to have rice ready at a specific time?

First, set the current time (press and hold the ◀ or ▶ button). Then select the rice type and menu. Press the TIMER button to choose Timer 1 or 2, use ◀/▶ to set the desired completion time, and press START/REHEAT. The timer will start automatically.

What should I do if steam comes out from the gap between the lid and the body?

Check that the Inner Lid Set is properly attached and the Inner Lid Gasket is clean and not torn. Also ensure the Pressure Control Valve ball moves freely and the Safety Valve and Inner Lid Filter are not clogged. Clean any rice stuck on the lid hooks or hook holes.

How do I clean the inner lid and remove it?

Hold the Inner Lid Knob, push up the orange Inner Lid Set Holder, tilt the lid forward, and detach. Wash with a soft sponge and neutral detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. To reattach, align the fixtures with the arrows on the outer lid and press until it clicks.

Can I use the Reheat function for any type of rice?

The Reheat function is designed only for white rice during Keep Warm. Do not use it for other types (jasmine, brown, etc.) as it may cause scorching or discoloration. Also avoid reheating cold rice or small amounts without adding water.

Why is the Keep Warm time blinking?

The elapsed Keep Warm time blinks when the recommended time is exceeded: 12 hours for Regular Keep Warm or 24 hours for Extended Keep Warm (varies by menu). It may also blink if the rice temperature is too low. Consume the rice promptly.

How do I change the Keep Warm temperature?

Press and hold the RICE TYPE button for 3 seconds. The current setting blinks. Use ◀/▶ to adjust from -3 (low) to +3 (high). Press RICE TYPE again to save. Settings affect both Regular and Extended Keep Warm modes.

What is the MY RICE feature and how do I use it?

MY RICE adjusts cooking based on feedback. First cook rice using the MY RICE menu setting. After cooking, press the MY RICE button to enter feedback on firmness and stickiness. Next time you cook MY RICE, it will adjust accordingly. You can reset by pressing and holding MY RICE for 3 seconds.

Can I use the Timer for QUICK or MIXED settings?

No, the Timer function is not available for QUICK, MIXED, and QUICK JASMINE menu settings. Select another menu when using the Timer.

What should I do if the Display shows an error code like E01 or H01?

For E01/E02, contact Zojirushi Customer Service (likely a malfunction). For H01/H02 (overheating), press CANCEL, open the lid, and let the unit cool for 50 minutes. If the problem persists, seek service. For E06 (voltage), use a proper 120V outlet.

How do I perform the Self-Cleaning cycle?

Make sure the Inner Lid Set is attached and the lid is closed. Fill the Inner Cooking Pan with water 1-2 mm above the MAX line (or use the Self-Cleaning water level guide in the manual). Press and hold the SELF-CLEAN button for 1.5 seconds. The cycle runs for about 30 minutes. After completion, discard water and clean.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

This appliance is supplied with a short power cord to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and a 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 unintentionally.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug was designed to fit into a polarized outlet in only one direction. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, do not attempt to force it or modify it in any way. Simply reverse the plug and insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

WARNINGS

To Cook Rice Safely in This Rice Cooker

Because pressure is applied during cooking and Self-Cleaning, incorrect handling of the product is dangerous. There is the risk that rice or other ingredients may boil over, resulting in burns or injury.

This Rice Cooker is designed for cooking rice and keeping rice warm as indicated in the Operating Instructions and recipes. Do not use it for anything other than its intended purposes.

There is the risk of the steam exhaust route becoming clogged, which can cause steam to come out from the gap between the Outer Lid and the Main Body, or cause the Outer Lid to open suddenly, during cooking or Self-Cleaning.

• Foods using ingredients that increase in size while cooking (pastes, beans, noodles, etc.). Boil beans in a separate pot before using them.
• Foods that may bubble over such as those using baking soda.
• Thick foods such as curry and stews.
• Foods with large amounts of oil.
• Foods that bubble up such as jams.

Never open the Outer Lid or move the Rice Cooker when pressure is applied during cooking or Self-Cleaning.

• Foods packaged in plastic bags.
• Foods wrapped in parchment paper, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, etc. or steaming dishes.
• Foods with green leafy vegetables (such as rice porridge with seven herbs); the green vegetables should be cooked separately and added after the rice completes cooking.
• Foods with unpeeled tomatoes.

Do not fill water above the "MAX" Line indicated on the Inner Cooking Pan and cook.

Always check that rice or other matter is not stuck around the Lid Hooks, the Hook Holes of the Main Body, the gap between the Main Body and the Outer Lid, the Inner Lid Gasket, the Pressure Control Valve, the Safety Valve, the Inner Lid Filter, or around the Steam Vent before cooking or Self-Cleaning.

• Rice or other matter stuck on these areas may prevent the Outer Lid from closing completely. During cooking or Self-Cleaning, this may cause steam to come out from the gap between the Outer Lid and the Main Body, or cause the Outer Lid to open suddenly, and rice or other ingredients may boil over. Additionally, for safety purposes, it may prevent the Rice Cooker from activating cooking or Self-Cleaning.
• The Outer Lid may not open if rice or other matter is stuck.

Push down on the Outer Lid until you hear it click shut.

If the Outer Lid is not closed securely, it may open during cooking, Keep Warm or Self-Cleaning.

Press down on the center front edge of the Outer Lid.

When opening the Outer Lid during cooking or Self-Cleaning, be sure that the PRESSURE indicator on the Display has turned off before opening the Outer Lid.

PART NAMES AND FUNCTIONS (cont.)

ACCESSORIES

Spatula

Can be placed standing upright.

Measuring Cup

(1 Cup = approx. 6.1 oz./approx. 180 mL)

TIPS FOR COOKING DELICIOUS RICE

● Measure rice accurately

Be sure to use the Measuring Cup provided, as other measuring cups may differ. Level the rice off at the top of the cup to maintain accuracy.

● Clean rice quickly

Prepare a bowl to pool water

① Rinse rice …… First, pour plenty of water into the Inner Cooking Pan from the bowl and stir the rice loosely by hand 2 or 3 times (for 10 seconds or less). Drain the water immediately afterwards. Repeat twice.
2 Wash rice .... Wash by stirring the rice by hand 30 times, pour plenty of water from the bowl and stir the rice loosely again. Drain the water immediately afterwards. Repeat this washing process 2-4 times.
③ Rinse rice .... Lastly, pour plenty of water from the bowl and rinse the rice. Repeat twice.

(Complete steps ①—③ within 10 minutes.)

- Use a different method to wash jasmine white rice and steel cut oatmeal if such a method is written on the bag containing the rice or oatmeal. If no washing method is written on the bag, follow the instructions given above.

Warning!

Do not clean the rice or adjust the amount of water using hot water (95°F/35°C or above). Doing so will cause the rice to be cooked improperly.

● Adjust the amount of water accordingly

Be sure to adjust the amount of water on a flat surface. The Water Level Line is a guideline. Adjust the amount of water according to preference, rice type, and crop age.

Type of Rice	New crop	Old crop
Water Adjustment	Reduce water slightly from the normal level	Add a little water to the normal level

- If you add too much water, it may boil over through the Steam Vent.

● Do not use strongly alkalized ionic water

Do not use alkalized ionic water that is over pH 9. Rice cooked with strongly alkalized ionic water may appear yellow or become too glutinous.

When Cooking 6 Cups of White Rice

● Stir and loosen rice immediately after cooking has completed

Doing so releases excess moisture, resulting in rice that is perfectly cooked with a fluffy texture. Loosen the rice within 10 minutes after cooking completes. Not loosening the rice may cause it to clump, become too glutinous or burn.

TIPS FOR USING THE KEEP WARM MODE

- When keeping rice in the Inner Cooking Pan for later consumption, use the Keep Warm mode.

- If rice is left in the Inner Cooking Pan with the Power Plug unplugged or with the Keep Warm mode canceled, the rice may develop a foul odor or condensed moisture may fall on the rice, making it soggy.

● To prevent the rice from becoming dry, wet, developing an odor or turning yellow, do not use the Keep Warm mode for the following.

• Keeping a small amount of rice warm for a long period.
• Keeping rice warm for 12 hours or more in the Regular Keep Warm mode or 24 hours or more in the Extended Keep Warm mode. (This may differ depending on the menu setting.)
• Adding additional rice while keeping rice warm.
  ● Reheating cold rice.
• Keeping porridge, congee, or steel cut oatmeal warm.
• Keeping rice warm when it contains additional ingredients and seasonings (mixed rice).
• Keeping foods other than rice warm.
• Keeping rice warm with the Spatula left inside the Rice Cooker.

- When keeping a small amount of rice warm, gather the rice toward the center of the Inner Cooking Pan.

- As the amount of rice kept warm decreases, the rice may dry or become wet. To minimize this, gather the rice toward the center of the Inner Cooking Pan while keeping warm.

Gather rice in center

HOW TO SET THE CLOCK

ACTIVATED BROWN RICE (GABA BROWN)

This Rice Cooker has two settings for cooking brown rice. The GABA BROWN setting on the menu activates brown rice for increased nutritional value.

GABA BROWN SETTING:

When GABA BROWN is selected on the menu, the Rice Cooker will begin activating the brown rice, after which it will start cooking automatically. During the brown rice activation process, the temperature in the Inner Cooking Pan is kept at approx. 104°F (approx. 40°C) for approx. 2 hours. Cooking will take longer to complete.

→ See pg. 14 "ESTIMATED COOKING TIME".

By activating brown rice, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a naturally occurring nutrient in brown rice, increases to about 150% of the amount contained in non-activated brown rice. This process also makes brown rice softer, thus making it readily edible.

*What is GABA?

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a type of amino acid said to lower blood pressure and relieve stress.

ABOUT "MY RICE"

What is MY RICE?

When the user enters feedback (firmness, Stickiness) in the Rice Cooker after cooking rice using the MY RICE menu setting, changes will be made to the cooking flow to meet the texture you prefer.

HOW IT WORKS

• If 12 hours of Regular Keep Warm has already elapsed.
• If the temperature of the Inner Cooking Pan is low because the Keep Warm mode has been cancelled, or power failure.

REGULAR KEEP WARM

This keeps the rice warm at a higher temperature, so the rice develops odors less easily.

When cooking completes, the Rice Cooker automatically switches to the Regular Keep Warm mode and the KEEP WARM light and KEEP WARM-REGULAR display turn on.

EXTENDED KEEP WARM

Use this function when keeping rice warm for a longer period of time. Drying and yellowing of rice will be reduced by maintaining the temperature slightly lower.

This function can be activated during the Regular Keep Warm mode.

ABOUT KEEP WARM TIMES

• Be sure to observe the length of time for which rice can be kept warm as shown in the table below.
• You cannot select EXTENDED KEEP WARM for the menus marked with a “—”. REGULAR KEEP WARM is automatically selected.
• After cooking, all menus default to the Keep Warm mode. However, do not use the Keep Warm mode for the menus with an "X" below. Doing so can cause spoilage and foul odors.

MenuKEEP WARM	FIRMER·FIRM·REGULAR·SOFT·SOFTER·UMAMI·QUICK·SUSHI·MY RICE·JASMINE·QUICK JASMINE	MIXED·PORRIDGE*·JASMINE - CONGEE*·STEEL CUT OATMEAL*	BROWN·GABA BROWN
REGULAR KEEP WARM	Up to 12 hours	×	Up to 12 hours
EXTENDED KEEP WARM	Up to 24 hours	—	—

- For each menu setting, after the time listed in the table above has elapsed, the number will begin to blink as a warning. Consume the rice as soon as possible.

- For the menus with an "X" above, the number will begin blinking at 0 hours. Do not use the Keep Warm mode for these menus.

* With PORRIDGE, CONGEE, and STEEL CUT OATMEAL, the cooked grains will become thick as time passes, so turn off the Keep Warm mode after cooking is finished and consume these foods as soon as possible.

Continued on the next page

HOW TO KEEP RICE WARM AGAIN

■ When you want to keep rice warm after canceling the Keep Warm mode.

Press the KEEP WARM button.

The REGULAR KEEP WARM light turns on, and the time elapsed display returns to "0 HRS".

- If the temperatures of the rice and the Inner Cooking Pan are low, do not keep warm again. Trying to keep contents warm again when the rice and Inner Cooking Pan temperatures are low will cause "0 (HRS)" to blink.

When you are concerned about the odor

● Foul odors or the growth of bacteria may occur depending on how well the unit is cleaned, the room temperature based on the season or the usage environment, frequent opening and closing of the Outer Lid, the type of rice used, or the way the rice was cleaned. If you are concerned about odors, cleaning the Rice Cooker according to "THE INTERIOR" on pg. 28 and then using REGULAR KEEP WARM should be effective. It can be even more effective to increase the warming temperature, as described on pg. 35, "IF THE FOLLOWING OCCURS".

IMPORTANT

- When keeping rice in the Inner Cooking Pan for later consumption, you must use the Regular Keep Warm mode or Extended Keep Warm mode.

NOTE

- If you want to know the current time during the Regular Keep Warm mode or Extended Keep Warm mode, press the ◀ or ▶ button and the Display will switch. Press the ◀ or ▶ button again to return to the display for the Keep Warm time elapsed.

If you do not return the display to the Keep Warm time elapsed, the next time you cook rice, the Keep Warm time elapsed will not be displayed. If the Keep Warm time elapsed display is blinking, you cannot switch.

Notification Sound to Preserve the Flavor of Rice During Keep Warm

●Rice Loosening Reminder

If you did not loosen the rice promptly after it finished cooking, the Notification Sound will beep (4 short beeps) after around 10 minutes, 40 minutes, and 70 minutes. After the Rice Cooker switches to Keep Warm, open the Outer Lid and loosen the rice promptly in order to allow excess moisture to escape and prevent the rice from clumping, becoming soggy, or burnt.

●Outer Lid Close Reminder

If the Outer Lid is left open while the rice is being kept warm, the Notification Sound will beep (4 short beeps) after around 5 minutes, and thereafter will sound again 3 times at 3-minute intervals. In order to prevent the rice from drying out or becoming cold, close the Outer Lid slowly and completely until you hear it click shut.

If these reminders are not needed, you can set the Notification Sound to mute.

→ pg. 10

REHEATING RICE

You can use this function during the Regular Keep Warm mode or Extended Keep Warm mode.

●This Reheat function is for reheating the rice during the Keep Warm mode to make the rice hotter. Particularly, when the rice is kept warm at a lower temperature by the Extended Keep Warm mode, the Reheat function will reheat the rice to the best serving temperature.

1

Loosen and level the surface of the rice that is being kept warm.

• Be sure to loosen the rice to prevent scorching or the rice from becoming hard.
  ● To reheat a small amount of rice, add 1 tablespoon of water for each bowl of rice (approx. 5.5 oz./approx. 160 g), mix well, and gather the rice toward the center of the Inner Cooking Pan. Doing so will minimize dryness.
  ● Be careful not to burn yourself when stirring and loosening the rice.

Performing Self-Cleaning using the method described below can reduce odors.

● However some odors cannot be completely eliminated.

1 Insert the Power Plug into an electrical outlet.

2 Put water in the Inner Cooking Pan and close the Outer Lid.

1.0 L model	Add water to the white rice Water Level Line "1"
1.8 L model	Add water to the white rice Water Level Line "2"

3 Press and hold the TIMER button (1.5 seconds or longer).

The Display changes to the Self-Cleaning display.

4 Press the START REHEAT button.

A melody (beep) sounds, and Self-Cleaning begins. The estimated time (in minutes) until Self-Cleaning completion appears on the Display.

Estimated Self-Cleaning time Approx. 60 minutes

● The above table is based on the testing conditions of 120 volts, a room temperature of 68^ F ( 20^ C), and water at a starting temperature of 64.4^ F ( 18^ C).
● The estimated time until Self-Cleaning completion may differ from the actual time required. The actual time required for Self-Cleaning may vary depending on factors such as the room or water temperature, the voltage, and the amount of water.
● The Rice Cooker will make adjustments to the estimated time until Self-Cleaning completion, and the estimated time until Self-Cleaning completion may increase or decrease suddenly during this process.
● Pressure is applied during Self-Cleaning. When pressurization starts, the PRESSURE indicator on the Display turns on.
- If you want to know the current time, press the ◀ or ▶ button and the Display will switch.

5 When a melody (beep) sounds and the Display changes to a blinking "0," press the CANCEL button.

• If the CANCEL button is not pressed, the Rice Cooker will beep every 30 minutes as a reminder.
• Immediately after Self-Cleaning is completed, the Outer Lid will be tightly sealed and some time may be required before it opens.

Before opening the Outer Lid, make sure that steam is not coming out from the Steam Vent and that the PRESSURE indicator has disappeared from the Display.

6 Wait for the Main Body to cool before cleaning the Rice Cooker.

The inside will be hot. Be sure to dispose of the hot water after the Main Body has cooled down, and then clean the Rice Cooker.

To cancel Self-Cleaning before it is completed...

Press and hold the CANCEL button for 1 second or longer.

The START/REHEAT light turns off, and the current time display returns.

● Be cautious of the Steam Vent as steam will be forced out.

If you still notice an odor even after Self-Cleaning.

• Perform Self-Cleaning again. When performing Self-Cleaning multiple times in succession, put new water in the Inner Cooking Pan and allow the Rice Cooker to cool with the Outer Lid open for at least 50 minutes before starting.
Performing Self-Cleaning without first allowing the Rice Cooker to cool may lead to an error or a longer cleaning time (up to approximately 60 minutes). Also, the estimated time until Self-Cleaning completion may not be displayed for some time in this situation.

• Performing Self-Cleaning will reduce odors, however some odors cannot be completely eliminated.

IMPORTANT

* Do not use perform Self-Cleaning when there is no water in the Inner Cooking Pan.
- Never put any substance other than water (such as detergent) in the Inner Cooking Pan.
* When performing Self-Cleaning, do not add more than the prescribed amount of water (white rice Water Level Line "1" for the 1.0 L model, or white rice Water Level Line "2" for the 1.8 L model). (Adding too much water may prevent Self-Cleaning from working properly.)
• Steam will be forced out of the Steam Vent during Self-Cleaning. Be careful to avoid getting burned.
• After Self-Cleaning, if the Outer Lid is opened while the inside is still hot, a large amount of hot steam will come out. Be careful to avoid getting burned.

Problems		Possible Causes/Solutions
CONDITION OF RICE	Rice cooks too hard or too soft	Increase or decrease water slightly (by 1-2 mm) from the Water Level Line according to your preference.If the amount of water is adjusted with the Rice Cooker on a tilted surface, the amount of water may be too high or too low, which will lead to changes In the hardness of the cooked rice.The texture of rice varies depending on the brand of the rice, where it was harvested, and how long it was stored (new crop or old crop).The texture of rice varies depending on the room and water temperatures.Using the Timer may result in softer rice.Using the QUICK menu setting may result in harder or wet rice.→ Please try using the WHITE (REGULAR), MY RICE, or UMAMI menu setting.Make sure the Inner Cooking Pan is not deformed.Rice may not have been cleaned sufficiently, leaving too much bran on the rice.Did you level the surface of the rice before cooking?Did you loosen the rice after cooking was completed?→ Loosen the rice immediately after cooking is completed.Is there moisture or foreign matter such as (cooked or uncooked) rice on the bottom of the Inner Cooking Pan or the Side Sensor?→ Wipe them off.Is there moisture or foreign matter on the inside of the Main Body or the Inner Lid Set?→ Wipe them off.JASMINE white rice may be slightly harder than normal.→ To make it softer, fill the water slightly higher than the Water Level Line on the Inner Cooking Pan (to a point within half the distance to the next Water Level Line) and cook.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (cont.)

Problems		Possible Causes/Solutions
OTHER	There is water dripping from the bottom of the Main Body	● Is there water accumulated in the Condensation Collecting Area or between the Main Body and Outer Lid?→ When a certain amount of water accumulates in the Condensation Collecting Area or between the Main Body and Outer Lid, the structure causes the water to drain from the bottom of the Main Body. If there is accumulated water, fully wipe it away.
	When power failure occurs	● If too many appliances are used simultaneously while cooking or Self-Cleaning is in progress, an overload may occur and the breaker will cut off the electricity.→ If another appliance is plugged into the same electrical outlet as the Rice Cooker, unplug it before resetting the breaker. If the electricity is restored within 10 minutes, the Rice Cooker will resume cooking or Self-Cleaning automatically.
	There's a resinous odor, such as that of plastic	● When you use this Rice Cooker for the first time, there will be a resinous smell, such as that of plastic, but the odor will lessen as you use the Rice Cooker. If you are concerned about the odor, please see pg. 30 "SELF-CLEANING".
	You mistakenly put rice and water directly into the Main Body	● Putting rice and water directly into the Main Body may cause a malfunction. Contact the store where you purchased the Rice Cooker or Zojirushi Customer Service.
	Sparks from the Power Plug	● There may be sparks when plugging in or unplugging the Power Plug from the electrical outlet. This is common in IH rice cookers, and does not indicate a malfunction.
	The estimated time until cooking or Self-Cleaning completion is not displayed	● If cooking or Self-Cleaning is performed consecutively, the estimated time will not be displayed until the Main Body cools down, but the rice cooking or Self-Cleaning will start. This is not a malfunction.
	There is rust colored dirt on the inside of the Outer Lid or the Inner Lid Set	● If rice residue is stuck on the Outer Lid or the Inner Lid Set and has discolored, clean it.→ pg. 28 - pg. 29
