• It is not necessary to preheat the rice cooker before use.
• The cooking bowl gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or
potholders when touching any outer or inner surface of the appliance.
• During the first few minutes of use you may notice smoke and a slight
odor. This is caused by oil that may have been used during manufacturing
of the unit and will not impact the performance.
• Do not try to stop the rice cooker from switching to the warm mode.
• As rice cooks, steam will escape through vent in lid. Place glass lid on the
rice cooker so the steam vent is facing away from cabinets and walls. Do not
place hand over steam vent while rice is cooking; the hot steam may burn.
• Use the plastic serving spoon (or a wooden spoon) to stir and remove
rice. Do not use metal utensils that can scratch the nonstick cooking bowl.
• Do not fill the cooking bowl higher than highest water marking measurement.

OPERATING YOUR RICE COOKER

COOKING RICE

add to the cooking bowl. The maximum amount of dry rice is 1 ½ rice
cup measures.
NOTE: When measuring uncooked rice; do not use a standard 1 cup (8 fluid
oz.) measuring cup. A standard rice cup is ¾ cup (6 fluid oz.); the same size
as the provided rice measuring cup. One rice cup measure of dry rice will
yield 2 standard cups of cooked rice.
2. Rinse the rice with water to remove any excess starch and then drain.
