their natural avor and nutrients without added oil or fat, for meals that are as nutritious and low-calorie as they are easy.
But it doesn’t end there. Your new cooker is also great for soups, stews, stocks, gumbos, jambalaya, breakfast frittata, dips and even desserts!
This manual contains instructions for using your cooker and its convenient pre-programmed digital settings, as well as all of the accessories included. There are also

HELPFUL HINTS
• If you misplace the measuring cup, a ¾ standard US cup is an exact
replacement.
• To add more avor to rice, try substituting a favorite meat or vegetable broth or
stock. The ratio of broth/stock to rice will be the same as water to rice.
• For approximate rice cooking times and suggested rice/water ratios, see the
“Rice/Water Measurement Table” on page 8.
• Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is no need to
increase the amount of water with a larger serving of vegetables.
• Steaming times vary depending upon the cut of meat being used.
• To ensure meat tastes its best, and to prevent possible illness, check that meat
is completely cooked prior to serving. If it is not, simply place more water in the
inner pot and repeat the cooking process until the meat is adequately cooked.
• Rinse rice prior to cooking to remove excess bran and starch. This will help
reduce browning and sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Want perfect brown rice without the wait? Use the DELAY TIMER. Simply add
rice and water in the morning and set the DELAY TIMER for when rice will be
needed that night.
• All charts are only a general measuring guide. As there are many dierent kinds
of rice available, rice/water measurements may vary.
• The countdown feature is an excellent way to plan your meal. Adding the steam
tray allows you to ensure rice and steamed food will nish cooking at the same
time.
• Refer to the steaming tables for meats and vegetables on page 18 for hints and
approximate steaming times. See the “Rice/Water Measurement Table” included
on page 8 for approximate rice cooking times.
• SOUP is also great for chili.
• DELAY TIMER can also be applied to BROWN RICE, GRAINS and
PORRIDGE.
• Cooking cycle will begin at approximately the last hour of remaining time on
DELAY TIMER for WHITE RICE.
• Cooking cycle will begin at approximately the last hour and a half of remaining
time on DELAY TIMER for BROWN RICE, GRAINS and PORRIDGE.

NOTES
• Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, check that the inner is dry and free
of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the cooker.
• CAKE will run for 50 minutes before switching to KEEP WARM. Adjust cook
time accordingly depending on the recipe being used.
• Due to foaming/bubbling, it is not recommended to cook brown rice using
QUICK RICE.
• Cooking times are approximate. Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will
aect cooking time.
• Opening the lid during the cooking cycle causes a loss of heat and steam.
Cooking time may be prolonged if the lid is opened before the rice is nished.
• Brown rice requires a much longer cooking cycle than other rice varieties due to
the extra bran layers on the grains. BROWN RICE on this cooker allows extra
time and adjusted heat settings in order to cook the rice properly. If it appears
the cooker is not heating up immediately on BROWN RICE, this is due to a low-
heat soak cycle that preceeds the cooking cycle to produce better brown rice
results.
• Before placing the inner pot into the cooker, check that the outside is dry and
free of debris. Adding the inner pot when wet may damage the cooker.
• Rice should not be left in the cooker on KEEP WARM for more than 12 hours.
• For better results, stir the rice with the serving spatula to distribute any
remaining moisture.
• SOUP is a programmed cook setting that operates for a minimum of 2 hours
before switching to the KEEP WARM setting.
• Do not attempt to cook more than 2 cups (uncooked) of rice if steaming and
cooking rice simultaneously.
• It is possible to steam at any point during the rice cooking cycle. However, it is
recommended that you steam during the end of the cycle so that steamed food
does not grow cold or become soggy before the rice is ready.
• These steaming charts are for reference only. Actual cooking times may vary.
• For DELAY TIMER, at approximately the 1 hour mark for WHITE RICE the
cooker will enter into cooking mode and display a "chasing" pattern.
• For DELAY TIMER, at approximately the 1 hour and 30 minute mark for
BROWN RICE, GRAINS and PORRIDGE the cooker will enter into cooking
mode and display a "chasing" pattern.

STEAMING TABLES
• Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will aect cooking times.
• These steaming charts are for reference only. Actual cooking times
may vary.
NOTE
HELPFUL
HINTS
• Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, there is
no need to increase the amount of water with a larger serving
of vegetables.
• Steaming times vary depending upon the cut of meat being used.
• To ensure meat tastes its best, and to prevent possible illness, check
that meat is completely cooked prior to serving. If it is not, simply
place more water in the inner pot and repeat the cooking process
until the meat is adequately cooked.
