of the unit or simply in improperly cooked rice.
● Do not cover the rice cooker with a cloth or other
object during cooking.
Doing so may cause the rice cooker or the lid to
become deformed or discolored.

enter these holes and cause a malfunction.
prevent this, a commercially available insectprevention sheet, etc., is recommended. If a
malfunction does occur due to this problem, it will
not be covered by warranty. Contact the place of
purchase.
● The inner pot’s uorocarbon resin coating may
wear and peel with extended use. This material is
harmless to humans and this situation presents no
hindrance to actual cooking or to the rice cooker’s
heat insulating capability.
If you would like, or if the inner pot becomes
deformed or corroded, a new one may be
purchased. Contact the place of purchase.
To
Do not move the rice cooker during
cooking.
Doing so may result in burns or enable

peeling:
•
Do not place the inner pot over a gas re, or
use it on an electromagnetic cooker or in a
microwave oven, etc.

: Rice can be kept warm. However, its avor may not be maintained.
Note
● Rinse-free rice can be cooked using the “Plain”, “Ultra”, “Quick”, “Synchro-Cooking”, “Mixed”, and
“Porridge” menus. You can cook delicious rinse-free rice easily without being concerned about the
water amount or soaking time.
Since the bran has already been removed, rinse-free rice does not require washing. It is also good for
the environment because the water left over after rinsing the rice does not affect the rivers or ocean.
● When using the “Porridge” menu, the porridge can become pasty if kept warm for too long; serve as
soon as possible.

Tips on making delicious rice
Read p.16 to 17 for preparations
before cooking rice, and p.18 to 23
for how to cook rice.
Select high quality rice and store it in a
cool location.
Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a
uniform grain size. Store in a cool, dark, wellventilated place.
Carefully measure the rice with the
supplied measuring cup.
One cup equals about 5.29
oz (0.18 L). Use the supplied
measuring cup for rinse-free
rice as well.This product
contrives the cooking method.
It is not necessary to use the
measuring cup for rinse-free
rice.
Wash the rice quickly.
Stir the rice around with your hand in a generous
amount of water, pour out the water, and repeat
until the water remains clear.
When cooking germinated brown rice,
whole rice or semi-polished rice, select
the “Plain” or “Ultra” menu.
Cooking rinse-free rice
• Add the rinse-free rice and water, and then stir
well from the bottom so that every individual
grain of rice becomes immersed in the water.
(Merely adding water to the rice will prevent
it from soaking in the water and may result in
improperly cooked rice.)
• If the added water turns white, we recommend
you wash the rice thoroughly by replacing the
water once or twice. (The water turning white
is due to the starch in the rice and not its bran;
however, cooking it with the starch left in the
water may result in burned rice, the contents
boiling over, or improperly cooked rice.)
Adding other ingredients to the rice
The total amount of ingredients should be no
more than 2.5 oz (70 g) per cup of rice. Stir in any
seasoning well and then add the extra ingredients
on top of the rice. If other ingredients are to be
added to the rice, be sure to use no more than the
acceptable maximum amount (refer to the table
below).

Cooking brown rice and/or multi-grain
rice mixed in with white rice
• If the rice to be cooked includes more brown
rice and/or multi-grain rice than white rice, use
the “Brown” menu.
• If there is an equal amount of brown rice and
white rice, or there is more white rice than
brown rice, use the “Plain” menu. (The brown
rice should be soaked separately for 1 to 2
hours before cooking.)
• If there is an equal amount of multi-grain rice
and white rice, or there is more white rice than
multi-grain rice, use the “Plain” menu. (The
multi-grain rice should be soaked separately for
1 to 2 hours before cooking.)
Cooking sweet rice
When cooking sweet rice, select the “Mixed”
menu.
Wash the rice, and then level it out so that all of
the rice is under water.
Cooking grains together with white rice
• The amount of multi-grain rice should equal
less than 20% of the volume of the white rice.
The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of white rice and grains is 5.5 cups
with the 1.0 L type and 10 cups with the 1.8 L
type.
• The grains should be placed on top of the
white rice. Mixing them together may result in
improperly cooked food.
Cooking grains together with brown rice
• Always use the “Brown” menu.
• The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of brown rice and grains is 3.5
cups with the 1.0 L type and 6 cups with the 1.8
L type.
Cooking short-grain rice
• When cooking short-grain rice, select the “Plain”
menu.
When cooking seasoned rice with various
ingredients using short-grain rice, select the
“Mixed” menu.
Selecting any other menu may result in the
contents boiling over or in improperly cooked
food.
Cooking long-grain rice
• When cooking long-grain rice, select the
“Jasmine” menu. When cooking seasoned rice
with various ingredients using long-grain rice,
select the “Mixed” menu. Selecting any other
menu may result in the contents boiling over.

odor may adhere to the cooking plate.
• When cooking ingredients with a strong color,
that color may be transferred to the cooking
plate through the broth, etc.
• Do not use sharp instruments like kitchen
knives, table knives, or forks inside the cooking
plate.

Refer to the supplied “COOKBOOK” for directions.
With this menu, food is rst brought to near boiling,
the heat is then lowered to about 199˚F (93˚C)
and the food left to simmer. The temperature is
then lowered even further to about 190˚F (88˚C)
and simmering is continued. By gradually lowering
the heating temperature in this way, avors are
enhanced and the liquids do not boil down even
when heated for a long period of time.
Menu examples

● For how to cook “salmon chowder” and
“yuzu citrus-avored oden”, see the supplied
