How to Cook Plain Rice

1.     Use the included measuring cup — one cup of uncooked rice gives approximately 2 bowls of cooked rice. Do not exceed the range indicated inside the pot.

2.     Wash the rice gently and thoroughly. Avoid damaging the non-stick coating of the inner pot during washing.

3.     Add water according to the markings inside the pot. The water level is an indication — adjust for different types of rice and personal preference.

4.     Before connecting to power, ensure the outside of the inner pot is dry and clean, and that no foreign object is on the heating plate. Close the lid firmly to avoid improper rice cooking.

5.     Connect the unit to the mains. The COOK indicator light will turn on.

6.     Press the control button to start cooking. The COOK light stays on to indicate cooking is in progress.

7.     When cooking finishes, the COOK light goes off and the WARM light turns on automatically.

8.     For best results, open the lid after the WARM light comes on, stir the rice to allow moisture to escape, then close the lid firmly to continue the Keep Warm function.

9.     To stop the Keep Warm function, simply unplug the unit from the mains.

Cleaning & Care

•        Always disconnect from the mains before cleaning.

•        Do not immerse the main body or rinse it with water.

•        Do not use sharp instruments for cleaning as they may damage the surface of the inner pot.

•        For the inner pot, steam tray and inner lid: unplug and let cool completely. Remove and clean in lukewarm water after every use. Soak with a sponge or soft cloth.

•        Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or metal utensils to clean the non-stick inner pot.

•        For the main body and outer lid: unplug, let cool, then use only a damp cloth to wipe the outside. Do NOT immerse the main body in water.

Keep Warm – How Long?

For the best rice quality, it is recommended to keep rice warm for less than 2 hours. Beyond this, rice quality may deteriorate.
