BEFORE THE FIRST USE
READ BEFORE USING THE RICE COOKER FOR THE FIRST TIME.
• Wash inner pot, cover, measuring cup, rice spatula and steam rack in warm, soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Never immerse outer pot in water.
• Never place liquid in the outer pot; place it only in the inner pot.
• Never try to force cook lever to stay in the “Cook” position after it has shifted
automatically to the “Warm” position.
• Always place inner pot inside outer pot before plugging in the rice cooker.
• When plugging in the cooker, always be sure inner pot contains liquid, or be ready to
add oil, butter or margarine immediately to the inner pot.
• Save these instructions and refer to them often.
NOTE: Always wipe down the outer surface of the inner pot before placing it inside the
cooker. Any moisture remaining on inner pot surface may cause a crackling noise while the
unit is heating up. Except for actual cooking area, keep all surfaces dry to prevent damage
to the inner workings of the appliance while it is in operation.
OPERATION
1. Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, be sure the heating plate and outside
surface of the inner pot are clean and dry. Do not allow loose rice or food particles to
fall into the cooker. The inner pot must fit snugly onto the heating plate to ensure
proper contact for cooking. Place desired amount of rice into the inner pot. Add cold
water up to the exact level indicated inside of the inner pot. Add oil, butter or
margarine to prevent rice from sticking. For example: For “3” measuring cups of
uncooked rice, fill water to the “3” level mark. By adding too much water you may cause
the unit to boil over.
2. Taste/hardness will vary depending on the quality/type of rice and length of time it is
cooked. For softer, fluffier rice add a little more water; for firmer, crunchier rice add a
little less water. You may need to experiment to suit your taste. Note that brown rice
takes longer to cook than white rice and requires more water.
3. Place the lid on the rice cooker. Plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The WARM
indicator light will come on. Push the POWER SWITCH down and the COOK indicator
light will come on. As the rice expands and cooks, steam will come out of the vent in
the lid. Do not place the cooker directly under your cabinets. Slight spattering is
normal.
4. When cooking is done, the cooker will automatically switch to WARM (the warm indicator
light will come on) and will continue until the unit is unplugged. Rice can be kept warm
for several hours. For best results, let the cooked rice sit for 15 minutes before
stirring or removing. This allows the steam to finish the cooking process.
5. Fluff rice with a plastic or wood utensil and mix in ingredients such as minced
vegetables, if desired.
HOW TO USE THE VEGETABLE STEAMING RACK
1. Clean and prepare the vegetables.
2. Place the inner pot into the Rice Cooker Base Unit.
3. Measure amount of water ¼ cup to 1 cup (1 cup maximum) and add to the inner pot.
4. Place the Steaming Rack into the inner pot.
5. Add vegetables and put the Glass Lid onto the Rice Cooker, and press POWER SWITCH.
The length of steaming time is subject to your own personal tastes; your personal
preference toward crisp, crunchy steamed vegetables or a softer consistency will
depend on length of cooking time.
6. Please unplug this Rice Cooker after use.
