If the preset/timer is set to below the minimum stated in the below table, the cooking cycle will start immediately.
This is because the default cooking time for each cooking cycle has to be taken into account along with
additional assessment time for the fuzzy logic to know what it is cooking.

Note – be aware that perishable foods should not be left for long periods of time when you have set the 'PRESET'
function as they may spoil.
The start time of the preset/timer is not exact, it will come on slightly earlier as Sakura has
to assess what exactly is in the inner bowl (rice/oats/water) and volume so it can calculate the
cooking time effectively. It deals with this by turning the unit on early so it can 'assess' the
contents.

TIPS TO COOKING GREAT TASTING RICE
4.1 HOW TO COOK PERFECT RICE
Measure the rice accurately! Use the measuring cup provided as other cup sizes may be different measurements.
Make sure you level the rice off at the top of the cup – this is a full 180ml measurement.
Rinse the rice! Place the rice into a sieve or a bowl and pour fresh, cold water on top. Stir the rice loosely by hand
and drain the water. Do this 2-3 times until the water you are rinsing with runs clear.

Be accurate with the water!
The amount of water in the inner bowl prior to cooking greatly
affects the texture of the cooked rice. The more water you
use, the softer the rice will be when cooked. We recommend
after washing the rice, you place it in the inner bowl, then top
up with water to the corresponding line on the inner bowl – fill
to the underside of the line, this will give you perfect rice. If you
prefer it softer, fill to the top of the line; if you prefer it harder,
fill to 2-3mm below the line.
Stir and loosen! Once the appliance has switched to 'KEEP
WARM', if possible, stir and loosen the rice straight away with
the provided spatula. This helps release excessive moisture
and results in nice, perfect fluffy rice.
