To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.

13. Do not use the rice cooker for other than intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. This rice cooker is intended for household use.

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are to be used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance; (2) if the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and (3) the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled down by children or tripped over accidentally.

The following instructions are applicable to 120V only: This applia nce has a pola rize d plug (one blade is wi der than the other). To redu ce the r isk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet in only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or disabled persons without supervision. Ensure that young children do not play with the rice cooker.

SLOW COOKING

The food is ﬁrst brought to a near boiling state, and then it is lowered to about 207°F/97°C and left to simmer. The temperature is then lowered even further to about 198°F/92°C and simmering continues. By gradually lowering the heat, ﬂavors will seep into the foods well. The temperature will remain at a constant temperature regardless if heating for an extended amount of time. This process is ideal for slowly simmering large quantities of food that requires a longer time, such as stews.

Sample Menu

Beef Stew with Vegetables, Oden For “Beef Stew with Vegetables” or “Oden” recipes, see page 23 of the Menu Guide.

NOTE/ Cooking tip:

●Foods other than those described in the Menu Guide may boil over, therefore use with caution.

●Stir foods well to prevent seasonings from settling on the bottom of the inner pan.

●To simmer foods in broth, do not add hot broth.

●To thicken with starch, add it toward the last stage of the cook ing process.

●Kneaded foods such as ﬁsh sausage and ﬁsh cake, or any other processed ﬁsh product.

Will swell up when heated, therefore use with moderation.

❙Basic cooking procedure

STEP 1. Prepare the ingredients

STEP 2. Add the desired food to the inner pan and close the lid.

Note: For slow cooking menu, use the “Plain Rice”

scale marked on the inside of the inner pan. Avoid using more than the maximum allowed amount (see the table below) to prevent improper boiling or overﬂowing issue.

Also, using less than the minimum required

amount can cause foods to boil over.

STEP 3. Plug the AC power cord into the AC outlet

STEP 4. Press the [Menu] key to select “Slow Cook” menu

Every press on the [Menu] key creates a beeping sound and the arrow indicates on “ Slow Cook” blinks.

When keeping warm beyond 6 hours, the number “6” will start ﬂashing on

the LCD screen.

* Some dish will start to diminish its ﬂavor when remains kept warm for an

extended time.

IMPORTANT NOTE/ Cooking tip

If the food is still not fully cooked, do not press the [ Cancel] key before extending additional cook ing time. Otherwise, this function will be disabled and extended cooking cannot be set. However, if the [Cancel] key is pressed accidently, the food can be further cooked as follows: (1) Remove the inner pan and set it on a wet kitchen towel. (2) Leave the rice cooker lid open for about 10 minutes to let the ric e cooker and the inner pan cool down. (3) Set the inner pan back into the rice cooker. (4) Repeat Step 4 on p.21.

STEP 7. When cooking is completed

The [Keep Warm] lamp lights up and “0h” appears on the LCD display. The rice cooker will notify by beeping 8 times. “0h” will display on the LCD screen. [Keep Warm] light is lit on and the [Start ] light is turned off. * If the food is still not fully cooked and

STEAM COOKING (“Steam” MENU)

STEP 1. Add water into the inner pan; place the desired food to be steamed into the

steam basket and close the lid. Please refer to the water level below:

Water level (use the supplied measuring cup):

1.0 L type (5.5-cup rice cooker) ... 3 1/4 cups (585 mL/ 20 oz)

1.8 L type (10-cup rice cooker) ....4 1/2 cups ( 810 mL/28.5 oz)

Note: Be careful not to add too much or too little

water into the inner pan for steaming.

STEP 2. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet

STEP 3. Press the [Menu] key to select “Steam” menu

Each touch on the [Menu] key gives off a “beeping” sound, and the arrow icon indic ates on “Steam” menu blinks.

With stewed foods, flavors seep in better if the food is first heated and then kept warm for a while.

Tip:

Under “Slow Cook”, the food is first brought to a near boil, then it is lowered to about 207°F/97°CF/97°C/97°C and left to simmer. The temperature is then lowered even further to about 198 °F/92°CF/92°C/92°C and simmer ing continues. By grad ually lowering the heat, flavors seep in well. Even after heating for a long period of time, there is no worry about liquids boiling down. This process is ideal for slowly simmering large quantities of food for l ong p eriods of time such as st ew o r ode n (hotchpotch)!
