HOW TO USE THE RICE COOKER FUNCTIONS
There are 3 options for cooking rice - ‘REGULAR’, ‘FAST COOK’ and ‘RICE’.
The maximum capacity of this appliance is 8 cups (180ml cup) for WHITE rice and 5 cups (180ml cup) for BROWN
rice. Do not exceed this amount.
There are markings on the inside of the inner bowl to indicate the water levels for
white rice. Water ratios for brown rice are given below.
Sakura is designed to cook rice using 7 distinct phases to produce perfect rice every time and to carefully retain
nutrients. These phases are Preheat, Absorb water, Heating, Boiling, Braising, Absorb water and then finally Keep warm
(in this order). This phased cooking and adjustments in temperature are controlled using Sakura’s fuzzy logic processor.
OPTIONS FOR COOKING RICE:
1.
‘REGULAR’
