HELPFUL
HINTS
NOTE
• 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 7.
• Storage lid is not to be used during the cooking cycles.
• Before placing the inner cooking pot into the rice cooker, check that it
is dry and free of debris. Adding the inner cooking pot when wet may
damage the rice cooker.
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and check that all items have been received in good condition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Wash steam vent and all other accessories in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
5. Remove the inner cooking pot from rice cooker and clean with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before returning to cooker.
6. Wipe body clean with a damp cloth.
NOTE
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Do not immerse the rice cooker base, cord or plug in water at any time.

Press MENU to navigate to the
White Rice or Brown Rice function,
depending upon the type of rice
being cooked.
NOTE
• Brown rice requires a much longer cooking cycle than other rice varieties due to the extra bran layers on the grains. The Brown Rice function on this rice
cooker allows extra time and adjusted heat settings in order to cook the rice properly. If it appears the rice cooker is not heating up immediately on the
Brown Rice setting, this is due to a low-heat soak cycle that preceeds the cooking cycle to produce better brown rice results.
• Rice should not be left in the rice cooker on Keep-Warm for more than 12 hours.

RICE/WATER MEASUREMENT TABLE
• Rinse rice before placing it into the inner pot to remove excess bran and starch. This will help reduce browning and sticking to the bottom of the pot.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Rice is too dry/hard after cooking.
If your rice is dry or hard/chewy when the rice cooker switches to Keep-Warm, additional water and cooking time
will soften the rice. Depending on how dry your rice is, add ½ to 1 cup of water and stir through. Close the lid and
press the WHITE RICE button. When rice cooker switches to Keep-Warm, open the lid and stir the rice to check the
consistency. Repeat as necessary until rice is soft and moist.
Rice is too moist/soggy after cooking.
If your rice is still too moist or soggy when the rice cooker switches to Keep-Warm, use the serving spatula to stir
the rice. This will redistribute the bottom (moistest) part of the rice as well as release excess moisture. Close the lid
and allow to remain on Keep-Warm for 10-30 minutes as needed, opening the lid and stirring periodically to release
excess moisture.
E2 Error This error indicated that your rice cooker is overheated. Unplug your rice cooker and allow it to cool for 20-30
minutes.
Because rice varieties may vary in their make-up, results may differ. Below are some troubleshooting tips to help you achieve the
desired consistency.

Rice is the perfect foundation for today’s healthier eating. It is a nutrient-dense complex carbohydrate that supplies energy, ber, essential vitamins and minerals
and benecial antioxidants. Rice combines well with other healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits, meat, seafood, poultry, beans and soy foods.
Nearly 88% of rice consumed in the U.S. is grown in the U.S. Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Missouri produce high-quality varieties of
short, medium and long grain rice as well as specialty rices including jasmine, basmati, arborio, red aromatic and black japonica, among others.
There are many different varieties of rice available in the market. Your Aroma® Rice Cooker can cook any type perfectly every time. The following are the commonly
available varieties of rice and their characteristics:
Long Grain Rice
This rice has a long, slender kernel three to four times longer than its width.
Due to its starch composition, cooked grains are more separate, light and
uffy compared to medium or short grain rice. The majority of white rice is
enriched to restore nutrients lost during processing. Great for entrees and
side dishes— rice bowls, stir-fries, salads and pilafs.
Medium Grain Rice
When compared to long grain rice, medium grain rice has a shorter, wider
kernel that is two to three times longer than its width. Cooked grains are
more moist and tender than long grain, and have a greater tendency to
cling together. Great for entrees, sushi, risotto and rice puddings.
Short Grain Rice
Short grain rice has a short, plump, almost round kernel. Cooked grains are
soft and cling together, yet remain separate and are somewhat chewy, with
a slight springiness to the bite. Great for sushi, Asian dishes and desserts.

Brown Rice
Brown rice is a 100% whole grain food that ts the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for
Americans recommendation to increase daily intake of whole grains. Brown rice
contains the nutrient-dense bran and inner germ layer where many benecial
compounds are found. Brown rice is available in short, medium and long grain
varieties and can be used interchangeably with enriched white rice.
Wild Rice
Wild rice is an aquatic grass grown in Minnesota and California and is a frequent
addition to long grain rice pilafs and rice mixes. Its unique avor, texture and
rich dark color provide a delicious accent to rice dishes. Wild rice also makes
a wonderful stufng for poultry when cooked with broth and mixed with your
favorite dried fruits.
