MULTI-USE RICE COOKER
PREPARING YOUR RICE COOKER
• Remove any labels or stickers from appliance.
• Thoroughly wash Glass Lid, Inner Pot, Paddle, Steaming Tray and Measuring Cup
in warm, soapy water before first use, then rinse and dry carefully.
USING YOUR MULTI-USE RICE COOKER
1. Make sure appliance is unplugged.
2. Measure raw rice for desired amount with the Measuring Cup (160 ml) provided.
3. Add rice to inner pot. One cup of the uncooked rice will make about two cups of
cooked rice. Unit allows for a maximum of 7 cups (1.2 L) uncooked rice.
4. By using the Measuring Cup, add proper amount of water to the rice inside the
Inner Pot (for every cup (160ml) of raw rice, add 1-1/2 cups of water). For stickier
rice, add slightly more water. For fluffier rice, use slightly less water.
5. Set the Inner Pot into the Rice Cooker. Make sure that the Inner Pot sits directly in
contact with the heating plate by turning it slightly from right to left until it is
seated properly. Cover with Lid. DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE
UNCOVERED. STEAM IS GENERATED DURING USE.
6. Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet. Activate the Rice Cooker by pushing
down on the On-Switch Button. Make sure the Cook Light (red) is on.
7. After 15 minutes, stir rice. Lift and remove the Lid carefully to avoid scalding and
allow water to drip into the Inner Pot. Use the Paddle or another long handheld
utensil to scoop and stir rice. After stirring, cover the Inner Pot with the Lid.
8. When your rice is cooked, the Rice Cooker will automatically switch to the warm
function and the Keep Warm Light (yellow) will turn on. The Rice Cooker will
keep the rice warm until the unit is disconnected from the wall outlet.
9. The Rice Cooker will automatically keep rice warm at 140°F – 175°F (60°C – 80°C).
10. When the rice temperature dips below this range, the yellow Keep Warm Light will
turn off and the red Cook Light will turn on indicating that the heat preservation
process has begun. When the rice temperature reaches 140°F, the Keep Warm Light
(yellow) will once again turn on and the Cook Light (red) will turn off.
11. Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning. Disconnect the plug from
the wall outlet when not in use.
RICE AND GRAIN
There are numerous varieties of rice depending upon region of origin and use. Please
refer to the chart on the next page for preparing different varieties of rice:
NOTES:
Wash the rice in a separate bowl, prior to cooking, if desired. For softer rice,
we suggest preparing rice and water in the Inner Pot and letting soak for
10 – 20 minutes before cooking.
INSTRUCTIONS TO REHEAT RICE
- To reheat cold rice, add 1/4 cup (4 Tbsp.) of cold water per cup of cooked rice,
stir to mix, then press down on the On-Switch Button to start cooking.
- When rice is warm, the Rice Cooker will automatically switch to the keep
warm function.
USING THE STEAMING TRAY
Steam cooking vegetables retains more nutrients than boiling or baking, while
preserving the bright, natural color.
1. Prepare vegetables by washing, peeling and then cutting into smaller sized pieces.
2. Make sure the unit is unplugged.
3. Fill the Inner Pot with the appropriate amount of water. (See Chart)
4. Set the Inner Pot into the heating body. Make sure that the Inner Pot sits directly in
contact with the heating plate.
5. Place vegetables in the Steaming Tray and position the Tray on top of the Inner
Pot. Cover with Lid. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT UNCOVERED. STEAM IS
GENERATED DURING USE.
6. Plug the Power Cord into a wall outlet. Activate the Rice Cooker by pushing down
the On-Switch Button. Make sure the red Cook Light is on.
7. Time the cooking manually according to the chart on next page. The unit will
automatically switch to the keep warm cycle once all the water evaporates. If all
the water evaporates and you wish to extend the cooking cycle, add more water.
8. Once the vegetables have been steamed according to your personal preference,
remove the Steamer Tray from the Rice Cooker.
9. Disconnect from the wall outlet and allow the unit to cool completely
before cleaning.
