HOW TO COOK RICE
STEP 1. Measure uncooked rice
Use only the measuring cup supplied with the rice cooker.
The rice measure cup is equivalent to 6 oz. (0.18 L).
* For every cup of uncooked rice, it yields 2 cups of cooked rice on average.
STEP 2. Wash rice by hand
● Rice may be washed in the inner pan or in a separate bowl.
● Wash rice in a short time until water becomes clear. Drain off water
quickly. (Certain brand of rice does not recommend over-rinsing in order
to retain its nutrients.)
● Do not use hot water over 95°F (35°C) to wash rice.
Note: “Rinse-free rice” is pre-washed prepackaged rice from the store,
thus it does not need washing.
STEP 3. Adjust water level
● Place the inner pan on an even surface.
● Adjust the water level accordingly to the scale marked on the inside of
the inner pan.
● Do not use hot water over 95°F (35°C) to cook.

brown rice and Mixed rice.
Tip: Broth may be used to substitute with water.
Note: ● Plain rice scale
Soft scale Æ softer consistency
Regular scale Æ normal consistency
Hard scale Æ dryer consistency
● Porridge scale
Soft scale Æ thinner consistency
Hard scale Æ thicker consistency
e.g.: When cooking 3 cups of Jasmine
rice, the water level should be at
level mark 3 under the regular
“Plain rice” scale.

Rice is reheated three or more times repeatedly.
● When the rice is not warm enough (below about 55°C (131°F)), it cannot be reheated. In such a case, the
rice cooker generates a beep-beep-beep alarm to indicate that the rice cannot be reheated.
Note: ● Make sure that the Keep warm lamp is on;
otherwise it will not heat up.
● To ensure heat is distributed evenly and
sufficiently, avoid filling the rice up to more than
half of the inner pan.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
ALL PARTS HAND WASH ONLY, NOT DISHWASHER SAFE.
CAUTION!
Unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet and wait until the rice cooker has cooled down before cleaning.
Any other servicing should be performed by a TIGER authorized service representative. Please see page 27.
● Always keep the inner pan and lid clean to prevent corrosion and odors.
● Use synthetic detergent for kitchens only. Do not use any other detergents or cleaning materials such as thinner
cleansers, chemical cleaning cloths, nylon brushes, and any other similar products.
● Do not wash tableware in the inner pan. Doing so may cause the non-stick coating (fluorocarbon resin) to be
damaged or scratched off.
● Do not immerse the spatula or steam cap in hot water. The spatula and steam cap may be deformed by heat.
● Be sure to remove any rice grains and other elements from the inner pan brim and gasket. Rice grains on the pan
or gasket may cause drying, discoloration, odor or sticky surface.
❙ Cleaning Inner Pan and Spatula
After use, soak the inner pan and the spatula with mild soap before washing. Use a mild sponge and wipe off the
water completely afterwards.
❙ Cleaning Rice Cooker and Lid
1.Wipe off any dirt from the rice cooker's body, inside and outside of the lid with a slightly dampened cloth.
2.Remove scorched rice, if any, from the center sensor and the heater plate.
● If dirt is hard to remove, apply commercial sandpaper (around #320), and wipe it off with a damp cloth.
● Avoid water from entering the mechanism inside the body.
● Do not try to remove the rubber gasket inside of the lid.

❙ How to Deodorize (when the rice cooker has an unpleasant odor)
1.Pour hot water into the inner pan up to about seven-tenths or eight-tenths of the capacity. Keep it warm for a couple
of hours in the normal “Keep warm” mode.
2.Clean the inner pan with kitchen-use synthetic detergent. Rinse it off sufficiently.
3.Dry the rice cooker body and all other parts in a well-ventilated place.
❙ Detaching and Installing the Inner Lid
Pull it toward yourself to detach the inner lid.
To attach the inner lid back, align the center gasket lid to the
rivet and also make sure the inner lid covers the innermost
then simply use both hands to push it in.
CAUTION:
● When mounting the inner lid, be sure to check that the
inner-lid sealing ring contacts the inner side of the inner lid
edge.
● The inner-lid sealing ring contacts the inner side of the inner
lid edge.
● The inner-lid sealing ring protrudes from the inner lid.
● When the inner-lid sealing ring comes off; insert it all the
way to the end while paying attention to the direction of the
sealing ring.
❙ Detaching and Installing the Steam Cap
Press with a finger into the concave area on the lid, and pull the cap upward
to detach it.
To install the cap, follow the procedure in the reverse.
The steam cap can be detached in two sections: A and B.

CAUTION:
● If the gasket ring inside the steam cap C comes off; simply insert it back
in between the inner square gaps tightly.
● Make sure all the gaskets are completely in their place before using the
unit; otherwise, steam may leak and causes rice to not be fully cooked.
Detaching the steam cap
Push the cap in the direction of the market arrow Ø and pull to detach the
cap.
❙ Cleaning the Heater Plate
Hot water may drip from the lid while cooking and stain the surface of the heater plate. This does not affect the overall
performance to the rice cooker; however, you may wipe it off if concerned as shown in below:
1. Use a plastic kitchen sponge and a small amount of cream cleaner and
scrub away the stain on the surface.
2. Use wet kitchen paper towels or cloth and wipe the stain off.
