TIPS:
Fill pot with uncooked rice after washing. Fill with water to overlap the layer of rice by ½" to 1", this will result in "perfectly"
cooked rice.
Brown rice or grain rice will need ½ cup more water compared to regular white rice.
When cooking brown rice, periodically lift the lid to stir the rice along the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking.

HOW TO STEW
:
Stewing in the rice cooker is quite similar to stewing in a slow cooker. Simply combine all the ingredients for your stew and place into the

Simply follow the instructions for cooking rice to stew with your rice cooker
Care and Cleaning
This appliance should be cleaned after every use.
1.
Unplug the rice cooker when not in use and before cleaning. Never immerse HEATING UNIT, cord or plug in water or any
other liquids. Allow the rice cooker to cool completely before cleaning.

utensils.

The INNER POT is coated with a non-stick coating to make clean up easier. To clean, remove the INNER POT from the rice
cooker and fill with hot water from the tap. Let it sit for a while and then wash with hot soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

The "rice cooker" measuring cup, spatula and Lid can be washed in warm, soapy water. They are not dishwasher safe.
