OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Wash the rice in a container other than the rice pot. You

will notice that the rst wash water is nearly the color of

milk. It contains starch that makes the rice sticky. Continue to wash until water is relatively clear.

2. Put the washed rice in the cooking pot. The water will cover the rice by approximately 1”. Use one cup of water to each cup of rice. The exact proportions change with the type of rice to be cooked. Different kinds of rice absorb water at different rates. Do not use this rice cooker to boil foods with high acidity or alkalinity as it will damage the pot.

MAXIMUM CAPACITY

Do not exceed limit marked on pot

3. Dry pot exterior and place gently in the body, rotating it once in position to be sure the rice pot is completely in contact with the heating element. To ensure that the rice pot is not dented, gently rock the pot from side to side when placed in the unit. Be sure to keep the outside of the pot clean.

4. With the rice pot in position, plug the cord into an appropriate wall outlet.

5. To start the rice cooker, press the “ON/OFF” button on the front control panel. The “POWER” light and the “HOLD” light will come on. To begin the cooking cycle press the “PRESS TO COOK” button. The “COOK” light will come on and the “HOLD” light will go off. To ensure evenly cooked rice stir rice at least twice during cooking cycle.

6. When the rice is cooked the “COOK” light will go off and the “HOLD” light will come on. Although the rice is ready for serving, let the rice remain covered in the unit to steam for another 10 minutes. Rice “cures” and becomes tastier.

NOTE: If the “HOLD” light goes off before the cooking is completed and then comes on again, then:

1. Your pot may be dented and will require replacement. Be careful not to dent the bottom of the pot; it is critical that the \ rice pot be in complete contact with the element if the rice is to be properly cooked.

Or...

2. The heater plate may be excessively soiled and require cleaning.

If the pot becomes dented you may order a replacement from Town Customer Service, (718)388 -5650
