For stickier rice, add slightly more water. For fluffier rice, use slightly less water.
• Set the inner pot into the heating body. 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.
• Close the outer lid firmly and lock shut. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT
UNCOVERED. STEAM IS GENERATED DURING USE.
• Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. Switch the multi-use rice cooker on
by pushing down the cooking switch. Make sure the red cooking indicator
light illuminates.
• When your rice is cooked, the cooker will automatically switch to the
warm function and the yellow keep warm indicator light will illuminate.
The unit will stay in the warm function until the unit is disconnected from
the wall outlet.
• The cooker will keep rice warm automatically. When the rice temperature
dips below a preprogrammed temperature setting, the red cooking indicator
light will illuminate again, indicating that the heat preservation process
has begun.
• Allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning.
• Disconnect from the wall outlet when not in use.
HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
• For best results, do not open the unit immediately after the cooking cycle
has completed. The rice should be allowed to settle for several minutes
before serving.
• Stir the rice thoroughly before serving.
• Do not keep rice warm for more than 12 hours.
• For softer rice it is recommended that you allow the rice and water to soak
in the inner pot for 10-20 minutes before cooking.
• DO NOT use metal utensils or sharp metal objects, as this will damage
the non-stick coating of the inner pot.
• Do not warm up the rice again after the unit has been unplugged.
• Empty the condensation collector cup after each use.
USING THE STEAMER TRAY
Steam cooking vegetables retain more nutrients than boiling or baking,
while preserving the bright, attractive color.
• Prepare vegetables by washing, peeling and then cutting into smaller-sized
pieces.
• Make sure the unit is unplugged.
• Fill the inner pot with the appropriate amount of water.

• Set the inner pot into the heating body. 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.
