RICE COOKING PROCEDURE 1. Measure desired amount of rice on a level surface using the large 900 ml measuring cup provided. One cup of raw rice will yield approximately two cups of cooked rice. 2. In a separate container, rinse rice with warm water to remove excess bran and starch. This will protect the inner pot, prevent water from sputtering, and make cleaning up easier. 3. Put rinsed rice into the cooking pot and level out with rice paddle. 4.
10. After cooking be sure to keep the lid closed for 10-15 minutes while the unit is on WARM mode. This is an important step to ensure that your rice is fluffy and evenly cooked. The keep warm mode will keep rice at a serving temperature until the unit is turned off. Maximum warming time is 8 hours. 11. If you have finished cooking and do not want to use the WARM mode, press the ON/OFF button and you can safely unplug the AC cord.
RICE / WATER MEASURING TABLE In the instructions below, cups do not refer to standard U.S. measurements. The following quantities adhere to rice industry standards. 1 Cup= 180 ml 1 Large (900 ml) Cup =5 Small (180 ml) Cups • • • • • • • The chart below refers to the large (900 ml) measuring cup to measure uncooked rice and water. 1 large (900 ml) cup is equal to 5 small (180 ml) cups.
HELPFUL HINTS Cooking Perfect Rice: • • • • For faster cooking time and softer rice, soak rice in warm water for 30 minutes prior to cooking. After adding rice and water to the inner cooking pot, remember to stir well so rice is coated evenly with water. After COOK mode switches to WARM mode, allow rice to warm for 10-15 minutes. This allows excess moisture to evaporate. Stir cooked rice lightly with a spoon before serving and excess water will steam off.
HOW TO CLEAN CAUTION: Always unplug the rice cooker and make sure it has completely cooled before cleaning. 1. Remove the inner cooking pot. Wash it in warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or dishcloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners for cleaning. Rinse and dry thoroughly before the next use. NOTE: • Never insert the inner pot into the unit while there is water or debris on the outside surface. Always make sure the inner pot is clean and dry before using.
