IMPORANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of
fire, electrical shock, and/or injury:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Note:
A. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks of becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
B. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If extension cord is used:
(1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance.
(2) The 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.
The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other is).
As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to override this safety feature.
WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with
this product, will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

HOW TO COOK RICE
Correct Incorrect
Measure the rice correctly. Wash the rice.
1
• Measure the rice using measuring cup provided. 1 cup equals 180 ml.
• Avoid using the Inner Pot to wash rice as it may damage the Inner Pot.
• Wash rice thoroughly in a separate bowl until the water becomes
relatively clear.
• Rinse quickly using a lot of water. Drain quickly.
• Gently rinse rice 2-3 times, until water becomes clear.
Attach the inner lid and close the lid.
3
• Securely close the Lid until you hear a click.
• Make sure that there are no foreign objects such as rice grains, between the Lid and the Inner Pot or
between the Inner Pot and Lid Seal. Any foreign objects between them may cause steam to escape
or water to boil over.
6
Add the correct amount of water according to the menu
setting selected and quantity of rice.
2
• Place the washed rice into the Inner Pot.
• Add water based on the selected menu setting and the quantity of
rice being cooked.
• If the water level is incorrect, excess water may boil over.
• Adjust the water level according to your own preference. The water
level may be adjusted by up to 1/4 of a graduation level. If the
amount of water is too great, it may boil over. The water quantity
should not exceed the highest water level (Mark 10) as this may
lead to overfill and short circuit.
• Make sure that any rice grains or water droplets remaining on the
outside of the Inner Pot or the inner wall of the main body
are removed. Water remaining in these areas may cause noise
during the cooking process.
• Gently turn the Inner Pot from side to side a few times to level the rice.
Plug power cord into electrical outlet and choose function.
4
• When the power is on, the WHITE RICE lamp will begin flashing
and the display will show two red horizontal bars.
The rice cooker is in standby mode.
• Select the type of rice by pressing the Menu Button. If the wrong menu
option is selected, the water may boil over or the rice may not be cooked properly.
• The Menu lamp will change from flashing to solid. After 10 seconds,
the two red horizontal bars begin to circulate around in the display.
The cooking process begins.
• Press the OFF Button to cancel cooking.

HOW TO COOK RICE
Stir the rice before serving. Cooked rice can be kept warm
f
or up to 12 hours.
5
• Once the cooking is completed, the MENU lamp will go off.
The KEEP WARM lamp will light and the cooker will automatically
switch operation to keep the rice warm.
• The display will show the elapsed time from 0 up to 12 hours.
If the elapsed time for the Keep Warm function exceeds 12 hours,
the display shows “-“.
• Do not unplug cooker while in Keep Warm mode.
• Do not keep rice warm for more than 12 hours as rice may develop
an odor, turn yellow, or dry out.
• Do not use the Keep Warm option for mixed rice, brown rice,
sweet rice, sprouted brown rice, or wild rice as they may begin
to deteriorate or develop an odor.
• Do not keep porridge warm, as it tends to become gluey.
• Make sure to unplug the Power Cord after use.
TIPS FOR COOKING RICE
• Evenly distribute the rice in the bottom of the Inner Pot to ensure even cooking.
• Wash the rice thoroughly. Rinse quickly using a lot of water. Drain quickly.
Gently rinse rice 2-3 times, until water becomes clear.
• Newly harvested rice (fall season) usually requires less water for cooking than rice that has
been stored. Over time, rice has a tendency to become dehydrated, therefore more water is
needed for cooking.
Note: Some brands of rice recommend not washing the rice before cooking to retain vitamins.
HOW TO COOK BROWN RICE
• Up to 8 cups of brown rice can be cooked.
• Measure water to the BROWN line on inner pot.
• Press the BROWN RICE button from the menu
to begin cooking.
• For more delicious results with brown rice,
soak the rice in water for an hour or more
before cooking.
HOW TO COOK SUSHI RICE
• Use white medium grain rice for sushi.
• Sushi course cooks rice that has a less sticky
texture than normal, which is ideal for making
sushi. If the rice is sticky type, add old rice to
reduce stickiness.
• Measure water to the SUSHI line on inner pot.
• Press the SUSHI RICE button from the menu to
begin cooking.
HOW TO COOK PORRIDGE
• The porridge water lines in the inner pot are for
cooking regular texture porridge.
Adjust water level according to your own preference.
• Up to two and half cups of porridge can be cooked.
• Measure water to the PORRIDGE line on inner pot.
• Press PORRIDGE & SOUP from the menu to
begin cooking.
HOW TO COOK WITH QUICK COOKING COURSE
• Use QUICK COOKING course to cook rice quicker
than a regular course.
• The rice may be slightly harder or may leave a thin
crust on the bottom of the inner pot.
• The rice may become softer if the rice is steamed a
little longer in the KEEP WARM mode after cooking.
• If softer rice is preferred, let the rice soak in water
for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
• Measure water to the WHITE RICE line on inner pot.
• Press the QUICK COOKING button from the menu
to begin cooking.
