instructions; dry thoroughly.

RICE MEASURING CUP INFORMATION

NOTE: Do not throw away the rice measuring cup that comes with your unit. This is an important tool in using your rice cooker successfully and its size is standard in the rice industry. One rice measuring cup equals 6 oz. (177 ml) or approximately 3/4 cup U.S. standard measuring cup.

Measure rice with rice measuring cup. Add the desired amount of measured uncooked rice to steam basket. Do not fill above side vents to prevent rice from falling through while rinsing. Place basket under a slow-flowing faucet and rinse. Add

drained rice to cooking pot. Repeat rinsing with any remaining rice.

Add desired amount of uncooked rice to pot; then fill with water to corresponding water line. Example: If you add 3 level rice cups of rice to the cooking pot, add water to the “3” line of the cooking pot. DO NOT exceed 10-cup MAX fill line.

Carefully place cooking pot straight down on base. Make sure cooking pot is securely placed into base.

NOTE: Make sure bottom of cooking pot is not bent or warped, or it will not conduct heat correctly.

When finished cooking, cooker will switch to WARM and light will glow. Display will track Warm time for up to 12 hours. After 12 hours, the rice cooker will turn off.

TIP: If you prefer a softer rice,

let cooked rice rest on WARM at least 10 to 15 minutes.

Once a mode is selected, the default time for that mode is displayed. For WHITE RICE, QUICK RICE, and WHOLE GRAIN programs, the digital rice cooker will adjust the cooking time throughout the cooking cycle based on the amount of rice and moisture in the cooker. You may notice that the cooker will place a hold on the time or significantly

decrease cooking time as the moisture content changes.

TIP: QUICK RICE can make white rice or whole grains.

w WARNING

Never use lid handle to carry cooker when contents are hot. Steam from steam vent can cause injury.
