OPERATING DIRECTIONS
….
1) Measure desired amount of rice with rice cup and pour into a separate bowl or
container for washing.
-
Measure rice with rice cup which contains 0.18L
-
Wash rice in other container, otherwise the fluorinated protective layer
on the inner cooker would be damaged and the bottom would be
deformed, which lead to mal-
function.
-
If you steep the rice in the water for approximately 30 minutes before
cooking, this will allow the rice to cook evenly and come out fluffy.
2) Pour the rice into the inner cooker and add water into the inner cooker according
to the level markings in cups or rice capacity (L). Desired level depends on the rice
quality and taste preference.
TIP:
Add rice first, then add water until it rises above
the rice by 1”. For brown rice, rise above 1-1/2”.
3) Put the inner cooker into the main body of the rice cooker.
a. Wipe off any access water that may have dripped onto the outer
surface of the inner cooker, thermostat or heater.
b. Gently rotate the inner cooker left and right inside the main body for
better contact between inner cooker and heater.
c.
Do not let the rice pile over the edges and dips down in the center.
Make sure that it spreads evenly on the bottom and the surface to
avoid any bad cooking results of half-cooked rice.
4) Shut and click the outer cover after position the inner cooker. Make sure that
the clip hold of inner cover and the outer cover clip is clicked shut and then
close tight the cover.

power cable is left unplugged when the cooking switch is not set, the rice
cooker will automatically set itself to Keep Warm mode.
6) Do not push the cooking switch down when the inner cooker is empty or the
inner cooker is not in place.
7) When rice is cooked, the Cooking Indicator will go out and the Keep Warm
Indicator will light up automatically. When the cooking indicator has gone out,
preserve the heat in the cooker for about 15 minutes before opening the
covers so that the rice would be nice for eating. IF you want to eat the rice
later, just keep it warm automatically in the cooker (60-80
C).
8) CAUTIONS for KEEP WARM:
Rice will turn hard if left in the Keep Warm mode for long periods of time. It is
recommended to add in small amounts of water to make the rice soft in case of
the time duration is prolonged.
When putting cooked rice back into the cooker to keep warm, make sure that
the rice is loosened evenly and close to the of inner cooker.
Be sure that the rice scoop is out and the outer cover is closed tight.
Otherwise the water in the rice will evaporate.
Without power supply, the rice can not be kept warm.
Continuous KEEP WARM for over 12 hours may result in change to the smell
of rice.
9) Unplug the power cable when you do not use the unit.

and even potatoes.
