HELPFUL HINTS
1. Rinse rice before placing into the inner pot to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce
browning and sticking.
2. If you have experienced any sticking with the type of rice you are using, try adding a light coating of
vegetable oil or non-stick spray to the bottom of the inner pot before adding rice.
3. The chart above is only a general measuring guide. As there are many different kinds of rice
available (see About Rice on page 15 ), rice/water measurements may vary slightly.
