▶ If you want warmer rice while it’s in Keep Warm mode, press the Keep Warm/Reheat button and wait for 9
minutes. Then, you can enjoy as hot rice just as if the rice was freshly cooked.
▶ The frequent use of the “Reheat” function may cause the cooked rice to be discolored or dried. Use it once or twice per day.
▶ If a separate heating appliance or gas burner is used to cook rice, put the cooked rice into the rice cooker and press the “Keep
Warm/Reheat” button to keep the rice warm. At this time, “ 0” is shown on the display. (Like this, transferring hot rice to a cold

It is recommended to evenly stir the cooked rice after cooking. The rice
taste is improved. (For a smal quantity of rice, pile up the rice on the
center area of the inner pot to keep warm)
Do not keep the scoop inside the pot while warming the rice. When using a
wooden scoop it can create serious bacteria and odors.
Do not mix small amount of rice or leftovers with the rice under
keeping warm. Doing so may cause an odor. (Use a microwave
oven for the cold rice.)
It would be better to warm the rice for less than 12 hours because of odors
and color change. From when 24 hours have passed since the product had
started the Keep Warm function, the elapsed time for the Keep Warm function
will be displayed by blinking.
Mixed rice is not kept warm as well as white rice, so avoid keeping mixed rice
warm.
During the Keep Warm mode, the rice on the edge of the inner pot or the
bottom end unit of the steam outlet may become whiter or swell.
In this case, stir and mix the rice.
