Cooking rice

indicated on the inside of the inner pot. 1 cup of rice is approx. 180ml.

- HD4760: 2-10 cups of rice

**Note:To get an optimal result, we advise you to cook not more than 3 cups of rice.

2 Wash the rice thoroughly.

Use a separate container to wash the rice to avoid damaging the non-stick coating of the inner pot.

3 Put the pre-washed rice in the inner pot.

4 Add water to the level indicated on the scale inside the inner pot that corresponds to the

number of cups of rice used.Then smooth the rice surface.

For instance, if you cook 4 cups of rice, add water up to the 4-cup level indicated on the scale.
