• Brown rice, wild rice and rice mixes vary in their make-up. Some variations
may require longer cooking times and/or additional water in order to
achieve optimum results. Refer to the individual package instructions for
cooking suggestions.
• The measuring cup included adheres to rice industry standards (180mL)
and is not equal to one U.S. cup. The chart above refers to cups of

APPROXIMATE COOKING TIMES:
Cooking times are approximate. This table is for reference only. Possible
variations in cooking times may be caused by one or more of the following
factors:
• Variations in the type of rice being cooked
• Variations in the amount of rice and/or water in the inner pot
• If you are making a second batch of rice shortly after the first batch, cooking
times may be reduced because the heating element will already be warm.
• Opening the lid during the cycle causes a loss of heat and steam. Cooking
time may be prolonged if the lid is opened before the rice is finished.

USING YOUR RICE COOKER
To Make Cake:
1. Add ingredients to inner pot, and place pot in rice cooker. Close the lid.
2. Press the ‘MENU’ button until the arrow is pointing to ‘Cake’. Press the
‘START/REHEAT’ button.
3. The cake will cook 45 minutes before switching to ‘WARM’ mode. Once that
time is reached, check the cake for doneness. If the cake is not completely
cooked, simply repeat the operation until the correct level of doneness has
been reached.
To Steam Food:
1. When steaming only, add the appropriate amount of water to the inner pot
according to the food to be cooked. A convenient steaming guide has been
provided on page 9 for vegetables and page 10 for meats.
2. Place food into the steam tray. Smaller foods may be placed in a heat-proof
dish and then placed into the steam tray.
3. Set the inner pot into the body of the rice cooker, making sure that the exterior
is clean and completely dry, then place the steam tray into the inner pot.
Close the lid and plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
4. Press the ‘MENU’ button until the arrow points to the ‘STEAM’ setting. Press the
‘START/REHEAT’ button. The display will show ‘:30’ for the maximum amount of
minutes the function will run without being manually shut off.
5. When food has steamed for the appropriate time, press the ‘WARM/OFF’
button. When the water in the inner pot has boiled off, the rice cooker will
automatically switch to ‘WARM’ mode. Exercise caution when opening the lid
and removing the steam tray and wear protective kitchen mitts to avoid
burns. The digital display will indicate the number of hours food has warmed.
6. The rice cooker will remain on ‘WARM’ mode until it is unplugged. Always
unplug the rice cooker when not in use.
FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON COOKING RICE AND
STEAMING SIMULTANEOUSLY, REFER TO PAGE 6.
To Brown:
1. Add food to be browned to inner pot and place in rice cooker. Close the lid.
2. Press the ‘MENU’ button until the arrow is pointing to ‘Brown’. Press the
‘START/REHEAT’ button to begin browning.
3. Allow food to brown until it reaches the desired level.
4. Once food is finished browning, press ‘WARM/OFF’ to shut off the cooker.
NOTE
If stirring food during browning, be sure to use a long handled plastic
spatula. Do not use any utensils that are not safe for use with nonstick
materials, as they will damage the nonstick coating of the inner pot.
