SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
This appliance is supplied with a short power cord to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and a longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug was designed to fit into a polarized outlet in only one direction. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, do not attempt to force it or modify it in any way. Simply reverse the plug and insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

Chaff
Different grades of rice correspond to the percentage of bran and germ removed.
HOW TO COOK GREAT-TASTING RICE
Measure rice accurately
Be sure to use the Measuring Cup provided, as other measuring cups may differ. Level the rice off at the top of the cup to maintain accuracy.
Rinse rice quickly
The first rinse should be done quickly, swishing and stirring the rice by hand with plenty of water. Drain the water immediately afterwards. Then rinse the rice 4-5
Albumen
Germ
Brown Rice
The chaff has been removed.
Semi-Brown Rice 30%

times with fresh water to clean out the bran.
Adjust the amount of water accordingly
Softer rice White rice with germ
White Rice with Germ
All bran has been removed but the germ of brown rice remains.
White Rice with Germ is polished using a special technique that cannot be performed by a household rice polisher. May be purchased at a specialty store or grocery.
New crop
Old crop Harder rice
Do not use strong alkaline ionic water
Germinated Brown Rice
Brown rice that is ready to be germinated by a special process.
The process gives a softer texture and improved taste. Also contains the nutrient GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid).
Rice cooked with strong alkaline ionic water may appear yellow or become too glutinous.
Stir and loosen rice immediately after cooking has completed
HOW TO MAINTAIN THE INNER COOKING PAN IN GOOD CONDITION
The nonstick coating can peel off if damaged. Please take special care to prevent damage and follow these precautions:
<During Preparation>
Remove foreign matters (such as sand) from the rice before rinsing.Do not use utensils such as whisks to rinse the rice.Use the Inner Cooking Pan only for this Rice Cooker.
<When Cooking Completes>
Do not pour vinegar into the Inner Cooking Pan (when making sushi rice).Do not use a metal ladle (when serving porridge).Do not hit the Inner Cooking Pan hard (when serving).
<When Cleaning>
Do not place spoons or bowls inside the Inner Cooking Pan.Clean the Inner Cooking Pan immediately after using any seasonings.Only use soft materials such as a sponge when cleaning.Do not use a thinner, benzene, abrasive cleaners and brushes (nylon/metal), bleach or anything
that may damage the Inner Cooking Pan.
REMARKS:
The nonstick coating may eventually discolor or peel off. This will not affect its cooking or Keep Warm performances or sanitary properties, and is harmless to your health. If concerned with the peeling of the nonstick coating, please replace the Inner Cooking Pan by purchasing a new one.
The nonstick coating may wear out with use.
Excessive moisture is released, resulting in rice that is perfectly cooked with a fluffy texture.
HOW TO USE THE KEEP WARM MODE
When keeping rice in the Inner Cooking Pan for later consumption, use the Keep Warm mode.
The rice may develop a foul odor or spoil if the Keep Warm mode is cancelled or if
left in an unplugged Rice Cooker.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Please check the following points before calling for service.
Problems
COOKING RICE
Rice cooks too hard or too soft:
Rice is scorched:
Boils over while cooking:
Cause (Points to check)
If the Rice Cooker is positioned on an uneven or tilted surface, the texture of the cooked rice may be too hard or too soft as the amount of water becomes inconsistent. The texture of rice varies depending on the brand of the
rice, where it was harvested, and how long it was stored (new crop or old crop). The texture of rice varies depending on the room and
water temperatures. Using the Timer may result in softer rice.
Make sure the Inner Cooking Pan has not deformed.
Did you loosen the rice after cooking was completed?
● → Loosen the rice immediately after cooking is completed.
Foreign matter such as rice may be stuck to the outside of
the Inner Cooking Pan, on the Heating Plate or the Center Sensor. Rice may not have been rinsed sufficiently, allowing too
much bran to be left on the rice grain. Make sure the Inner Cooking Pan has not deformed.
Has another menu setting other than PORRIDGE been
selected when cooking porridge? Make sure the Steam Vent Cap is attached.
Rice may not have been rinsed sufficiently, allowing too
much bran to be left on the rice grain. Make sure the Inner Cooking Pan has not deformed.
Is the Menu Selection or Water Level correct? See
pg.12
Problems
TIMER COOKING
OTHER
The Timer did not work:
When power failure occurs:
Cause (Points to check)
Did you press the COOKING button after setting the
Timer? → You need to press the COOKING button to complete setting the Timer.
If power returns immediately, the Rice Cooker will return to its
condition immediately before the power failure.
If power failure occurs during Cooking: Using too many appliances simultaneously may overload the circuit and cause the breaker to cut off electricity. Unplug all appliances and then reset the breaker. Plug in the Rice Cooker and make sure it is not sharing the outlet with any other electrical appliances. Press the COOKING button to resume cooking. Please note that cooking results may vary and may not be satisfactory depending on how long the Rice Cooker was cut off of electricity.
If the COOKING and the KEEP WARM lights are blinking simultaneously, please discard the rice and restart from the beginning.
If power failure occurs during Timer Cooking: Please make sure that the TIMER light is on, or it will need to be reset.
If power failure occurs during Keep Warm: Press the KEEP WARM button if the rice is still warm. The Keep Warm light will turn on and the Rice Cooker will resume Keep Warm. If the rice has cooled and is cold, do not attempt to Keep Warm as doing so may cause the rice to develop an odor or become dry.
KEEP WARM
Unable to start cooking or the buttons do not respond:
A clicking noise is heard during Cooking or Keep Warm:
Steam comes out from the gap between the Outer Lid and the Main Body:
During Keep Warm, rice has an odor, becomes yellow, or there is excessive condensation:
Make sure the Power Plug is plugged in securely.
Is the KEEP WARM light on? Press the RESET button
and press the COOKING button.
The microprocessor (MICOM) makes a sound while adjusting the heat power of the Rice Cooker. This does not indicate a problem.
Please check if the Outer Lid has deformed or the Outer
Lid Gasket is damaged. Has the Outer Lid Gasket become soiled? Clean the gasket.
Was the Keep Warm mode used for more than 12 hours?
Was the rice kept warm with the spatula left in the pan?
Was cold rice reheated?
Did you loosen the rice after cooking was completed?
→Loosen the rice immediately after cooking is completed.
Rice may not have been rinsed sufficiently and too much
bran may be left. The type of rice and water used may make the rice appear
yellow. Some odor may remain after cooking Mixed Rice. → Clean
the Inner Cooking Pan thoroughly.→See pg. 17. The Keep Warm mode may not have been used for keeping
rice warm. Leaving rice in the Inner Cooking Pan without using the Keep Warm mode may cause unwanted odor. →See "HOW TO USE THE KEEP WARM MODE" on pg. 9.
