Suggestions
● If the Cooked Rice Smells
▶Not cleaning the inner pot and other cooker parts allows bacteria to spread and cause the rice to develop an odor. In this case, fill the inner pot with a
mixture of water and vinegar, disinfect the pot by running the Sterilization feature for 40 minutes, and then thoroughly wash the pot. (Ratio of Mixture: Water
to 3 servings level on the plain scale and 1 tablespoon of vinegar)
▶Regularly clean the lid to get rid of debris and buildup.
● Getting Rid of the Odor when Cooking Old Rice
After being cooked, old rice tends to develop an unpleasant smell that only gets worse when
kept warm. On the evening before cooking the rice, soak the uncooked rice in water and add
a drop of vinegar. Rinse the rice clean and then rinse it once more using lukewarm water right
before cooking to prevent the rice from smelling.
● Storing Rice (determines the flavor of rice)
※Old or dried-out rice may develop poor texture or even end up undercooked. Also, they are prone to develop an odor when kept warm.
※Freshly polished rice can quickly become dry unless stored properly.
② To prevent bugs from mixing in with the rice, add cloves of garlic in the rice container.
① Storing Rice
Good Bad
- Cool and Dry
- Low Humidity and Good Ventilation
It is recommended that rice should be purchased in small quantities between 5kg and
10kg and should be consumed within two weeks of breaking the packaging seal.

▶Power Outage Compensation
Cuchen electric pressure rice cookers feature a power outage compensation function that remembers the operation that was being
performed before a power outage occurs. In the event of a power outage, this feature enables the operation that was taking place to be
resumed once the power is restored.
Caution: Power outage during rice cooking activates forced steam ventilation. (to prevent steam-related accidents)
▶Lithium Ion Battery
Cuchen electric pressure rice cookers feature a lithium ion battery that powers the power outage compensation and clock features.
The battery’s lifecycle is approximately 3 years. This figure can vary depending on the product’s specifications.
▶Melanoizing
Cooking rice with a Cuchen electric pressure rice cooker leaves rice at the bottom of the pot slightly brown in color.
This is known as melanoizing and adds savory flavor and aroma to the cooked rice.
If using the timer to cook, starch released from the rice can settle to the bottom of the pot and lead to more evident melanoizing effect.
Setting the Clock (Example: Setting the Clock to 9:30 AM)
Press SET button.

Adjust the time using HOUR/MENU and MIN/MENU buttons.
Press the HOUR/MENU button to change the hour setting in 1-hour increments.

※The actual cooking time may vary depending on the type of dish being prepared.
※When cooking barley, add water using the following plain scale conversion:
(2 servings = 3 servings on plain scale, 3 servings = 5 servings on plain scale, 4 servings = 6 servings on plain scale, 5 servings = 8 servings on plain scale,
and 6 servings = 9 servings on plain scale)
※In PLAIN QUICK or NURUNGJI mode, use the plain scale for the amount of water to add.
※When using MIXED QUICK mode, use the MIXED scale for the amount of water to add.
※Adding water in excess of the maximum line may cause the water to spew out through the steam vent.
※The actual cooking duration may vary if the Cook Control feature is enabled.
※In QUICK mode, using water in excess of the scale can prolong the overall cooking duration.
※Cooking or warming rice after using the Slow feature can cause the new rice to take on a smell. (Use the cooker by referring to p.9)
Cooked mixed grains in 20 minutes!
※Select MIXED mode and quickly press the PRESSURE/QUICK button twice to cook in QUICK mode and to reduce cooking duration.
※The MIXED QUICK option enables 2 servings to be cooked in 20 minutes.
※Cooking in MIXED QUICK mode is recommended for 4 servings or less. Also note that the mixed rice cooked in MIXED QUICK mode may not taste as good as rice
cooked normally.
※Cooking rice mixed with thoroughly soaked black or red beans in normal MIXED mode can produce a mushy result. In this case, use the MIXED QUICK option to
harden the rice.
※The actual cooking duration may vary depending on the ratio of grains, water temperature, amount of water used, and other factors.

●
Rice can quickly turn sour in the summer months. Therefore, the preset timer should not be set to more than 10 hours.
●
Cooking old (seal broken long ago) or dried out rice can produce an overcooked or unevenly cooked result.
●
If the rice is undercooked, add more water than usual (about half a scale more).
●
Starting Preset Timer cooking while the inner pot is still hot or warm from the previous cooking will cause the rice to turn sour. Allow the inner pot to cool down
sufficiently before using the Preset Timer feature.
●
Certain ingredients, depending on factors such as the ambient temperature and types and state of the ingredients, may spoil. Avoid using long preset timer
settings if possible.
