Precaution

Notes

- Do not set the timer to 13 hours or longer (8 hours or longer when the water temperature is high). (Doing so may cause the rice to ferment and generate undesirable odor.)

- If there is insufficient time for the timer setting, the timer will not allow the setting, and cooking will start immediately. (See "Timer Setting Restriction" on P. 26.)

● The timer cannot be used with the "Quick", "Casserole", "Cake" or "Steam" program.
