Operation
Cooking Tips
Wash the rice thoroughly before cooking. This helps to stop rice grains sticking together.
• A small amount of vegetable oil in the rice can help separate grains.
• Brown or wild rice may require additional water.
Using the Rice Cooker
The inner bowl features measurement lines inside as a guide. The cup provided is designed to measure
the rice and water.
1. Measure the desired amount of rice using the measuring cup supplied.
Note: One cup of rice will produce approximately two cups of cooked rice.
2. Rinse the rice in a sieve under running water to
remove excess bran and starch.
3. Pour the rice into the inner bowl. To achieve
evenly cooked rice, spread evenly around the
bowl.
4. Add the correct amount of water by using the
measuring cup, or by filling the inner bowl to the
appropriate level.
Note: Slightly reduce the amount of water for
firmer rice, and increase the amount for softer
rice.
5. Place the inner bowl into the rice cooker.
Note: Ensure there is no rice or moisture on the
outside of the inner bowl.
6. Replace the lid (HOST0941RC/HOST0942RC)
or close the lid and press down until the latch
snaps shut (HOST0943RC/HOST0944RC).
7. Connect the rice cooker to the power.
8. Depress the lever to the COOK position. The
Cook light turns on.
9. Once cooking is finished the switch
automatically moves to the WARM position. The
Warm light turns on.
