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.
Note: Use “Plain rice” scale when cooking Rinse-free rice, Germinated
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.

STEP 4. Set the inner pan into the rice cooker
● Wipe off any water drops, or rice grains from the outer surface and brim
of the inner pan.
● Make sure that no rice grains are stuck on the inside of the rice cooker,
especially the heater plate.
Caution: Be sure to set the inner pan correctly.
STEP 5. Plug the AC power cord into the AC outlet
If the Keep warm lamp is on, press the Cancel key to make it go off.
STEP 6. Menu selection

the clock-wise rotation.
