Cautions
1. Use only an electrical outlet with proper voltage.
2. Do not share the electrical outlet with other kitchen appliances while using your
rice cooker.
3. If there is still some uncooked rice in the pot after the cooking cycle is complete, the unit
may have been overloaded. Try putting in less rice next time.
4. Never fill the inner pot past the 30 cup measurement marking.
NOTE: Only use the inner pot provided. Using other brands may cause damage
and void the warranty.
How to Use
1. Please use measuring cup to measure the rice. One big measuring cup attached in this
cooker may cook 10 bowls of well done rice. Note: this measuring cup is five times the size of
a general rice cooker measuring cup. One big cup equals five regular cups.
2. Please use other container to wash the raw rice until water is clear.
3. Choose either one of the following two ways to add in proper amount of water:
a. Make use of the water graduation marks of the inner pot.
For example: for 20 cups rice (4 measuring cups of this cooker), add the water to 20 cups
graduation marks indicated on the water ruler, for 30 cups rice (6 measuring cups), add
the water to 30 cups marks.
b. Make use of the attached measuring cup to add equal amounts of water and rice.
For example: Add 5 cups of raw rice to 5 cups of water.
NOTE: Water amount will be adjusted according to different kinds of rice.
4. Before putting in the inner pot, please read the cautions carefully and observe the
following instructions:
a. Dry the water inside/outside the cooker.
b. Wipe away the water outside the inner pot, then place the inner pot inside the cooker.
c. Turn the inner pot left and right to make sure the inner pot is placed above the heating
plate properly.
